what drivers are best? thinking of a DIY project


want to make speaker cabinets and buy the raw drivers HI EFF something like Fostex FE206En 8" or maybe a 10" (Common Sense Audio makes them).

The question is: What are the best sounding drivers in the <$400 price range?

I would rather go big and not use a 6.5" or similar.

thanks Seikosha I feel like I am getting somewhere now

thanks to all who have posted I blame myself for not wording my question right
Theres always great posts on madisounds site. Im a firm believer that smaller is better. Id rather sacrifice some bass to get seamless mids to highs. Also, the jordans i suggested are used in the 47 labs speakers.
Elevick. 47 labs makes some great stuff I will look into the Jordans and Madisounds website thanks.
Elevick are you talking about the Jordan EIKONA speaker? Also could you direct me to a website that features your 1/4 wave transmission line cabinets? From what I have seen the design varies and also look a bit complicated. The drivers are intriguing for sure.

thank you for taking the time to help me

The second link should have plans. These are loved by all because they are so easy. The Jordan driver used by 47 labs is just a modded jx series driver. The 92s is new but should all be the same. Not cheap though.

If I were building these as a beginner, I might be inclined to start with cheap 4" drivers from Fostex or similar. Once you are blown away by that quality, then upgrade drivers.

I'll try to upload my office system today or tomorrow so you can see what I'm playing with...
