Samu Sauraman designed a speaker building project for Italian B&C Speakers - coaxial speakers. Once again, brilliant sound and even at a good value for money.

Four different versions to choose from:
- 8" - 15-liter enclosure. The lightest bass, but sufficient for many conditions. Conveniently small and flat enclosure.
- 12" - 65-liter enclosure. The most popular choice. Reasonably sized enclosure and really competent performance. Impressive bass.
- 15" NEO - 130-liter enclosure. Sauraman's choice. A large enclosure. The choice for the uncompromising audiophile. **
- 15" Ceramic - 180-200 liter enclosure. This one is not technically part of the PISTE series. Mikko Kutvonen designed a crossover for B&C, which Saurama found to be well verified with his measuring instruments and listening. The crossover was further refined together to its final form, and Mikko Kutvonen also made his project available to others.
**The 15" NEO is also available with a crossover featuring an air-core coil and more powerful resistors. We recommend it if you use the speakers at high power levels.
UralTone review:
Both the 8" and 12" were playing in my living room for a few weeks before the project was published. The sound quality of both is inspiring. It makes you want to listen and listen. The vocal tracks are so well present that you might forget that the singer is not actually in the room.
The 8" has a modest bass, but it’s sufficient for many basic listeners as long as the living room and placement support it. The 12", on the other hand, has a completely sufficient and very impressive bass response. The sound landscape of the speaker is super precise and analytical, yet not cold or grating at all. The balance is fine, and the stereo image is incredibly beautiful.
If the one-eyed brothers offered nice speakers for a very low investment, these require a bit more investment to get really nice speakers.
I have also used these as studio monitor speakers and with bands as PA monitors. Enhanced with a tube amplifier, I haven't heard better PA sound. Saurama surprises again!

Technical Support
We offer unlimited technical support via email to those who purchase our building kits! Customers are not left alone - we help as much as necessary.
If you want a pre-soldered crossover, we can do it for an extra charge. NOTE. However, the cables going to the speakers must still be soldered directly to the speakers. Quick connectors are not recommended here.
We still encourage all builders to learn the tricks of soldering. Here we have collected recommended tools at a hobby-friendly price.
Home Theater
Piste speakers perform excellently in home theater use. Samu wrote an article on the use and selection of DIY theater speakers, which can be found in our information section:
