A friend approached and asked me to build a pair of moderate cost and size
bookshelf loudspeakers. Looked at the Vifa Studio kit at Madisound.
This looked to be easy to build and looked to offer good performance for it's size.

  The following information on the Vifa Studio Kit
    was copied from Madisound's Web site.

½ " MDF has been added to the front, leaving a ½" X ½"
V groove around the front. Once the ¼" oak plywood
is installed, this will leave a ¾" X ¾" V groove, which
will be filled by ¾" quarter-round solid oak molding.
