F5 MKII DIY Kit 

The Loudspeaker Kit F5 MKIII Floorstanding DIY Kit

F5PKIT

The Loudspeaker Kit F5 MKIII Floorstanding DIY kit is our entry level floor standing speaker, a big sound with a small footprint. 

Now with Upgraded crossover and magnetic grills. 

The Loudspeaker Kit MKIII F5 DIY Floorstanding DIY kit is an MTM (Midbass, Tweeter, Midbass) speaker designed for a primary role as music speakers and also as L/R speakers in a full sized home cinema system. It is a slightly scaled down version of the F6 Floorstanding DIY loudspeaker kit with a performance that far exceeds it's size. Standing at almost 1M tall, the F5 is a narrow aspect speaker which means that it can fit into tight spaces and it's front firing ports mean it can be pushed back close to the wall. 

Fully shielded for HT use, this MTM tower uses the same excellent 5" woofers from Peerless Engineering as used in the M5 and C5 along with a Vifa Mylar dome tweeter in an EBS (Extended Bass Shelf) alignment designed to extract maximum bass performance.

The amount and quality of bass is outstanding and this design was destined to become our biggest seller even before the prototypes were finished. Midbass attack and extension is brilliant and midrange smoothness and off axis flatness contributes greatly to this speakers vocal performance.

A perfect timbral match to the M5 and C5 kits for high performance home theatre in a mid sized package.

TIP - the F5's are the best speakers in our range for reproducing a wide range of music, especially well recorded vocal, jazz, classical and ambient music but they also do a great job with electronic and dance material. If you are in doubt as to which speaker in our range will suit you, this is the safest bet.

* Note
- suggested amplifier power ratings are nominal only, there are a wide range of factors which affect the performance and suitability of any speaker/amplifier matchup. Damage to speakers is usually caused by an underpowered amp which is clipping due to being driven too hard. Damage to speaker drivers and kit components caused by overdriving the amplifier or the speaker is not covered by warranties. In general, the F5 kits will suit most commerically available amplifiers or receivers
