Bookshelf & Desktop Speaker Projects

Choose a stereo speaker project for your desk, shelves or listening room. Compact desktop designs suit close listening; larger bookshelf speakers give you more room-filling output. Check each model’s amplifier requirements, printer size and measured bass response before choosing.

Components kits supply the speaker parts while digital plans let you source them yourself. All require you to print and assemble the enclosure. For movie dialogue, browse the centre-channel range; for deeper bass, add a suitable subwoofer.
