Product details

Overnight Sensations MT Speaker Kit Pair

When Paul Carmody first listened to the Overnight Sensations speakers that he designed he exclaimed, "I wish I had a time machine. I would go back to my bedroom when I was in Jr. High or High School and give these to myself. These are the little bookshelf speakers I imagined I had: huge soundstage, deep bass, and tiny box. In reality, back then all I had were some impish Minimus-7s."

The Overnight Sensations are designed to be a quick, economical build that can put out a surprisingly big sound in a small box. Could be a weekender project for an addict, a gift for a teenager (see above), or—in Paul's case—a set of small, full-bodied monitors that he could listen to while grading papers.

To start a do-it-yourself’er off right, this kit includes a pair of high-grade 1.27cm Baltic birch cabinets that have been precisely CNC cut and rabbeted for perfect fit-and-finish when assembling the cabinet, as well as perfect driver fit.

For the Overnight Sensations' driver arrangement, Paul selected the versatile Dayton Audio ND20FA-6 1.91cm neodymium silk dome tweeter and mated it to the attractive HiVi B4N 10cm aluminum midbass woofer. To extract as much bass as possible, Paul decided upon a cabinet size of roughly 0.16 cubic feet (4.5 liters) which is tuned to 53 Hz using a 3.5cm diameter port that is 15.2cm long.

This kit includes nearly everything you need to build a top-notch pair of speakers in no time flat, including: a pair of knock-down cabinets, drivers, ports, and crossover components.

I built these speakers a few months ago, but instead of using the stock crossover components from the kit, I changed the coil in the LP filter with slightly better one (less resistance) and almost all of the capacitors with Jantzen Audio Silver Z-Cap. I have to admit, the speakers are amazing, but don’t get too excited about their performance just by reading the reviews all over the Internet. It’s true that they dig quite deep for their si...

These kits make up to an extremely good pair of bookshelf speakers well above the average . The base is quite reasonable for the size and there is good clarity to the music. There is a little muddiness n the mid-range which is to be expected and they should not be pushed to far with the volume. Pleasant sound stage mounted on a couple of 15" steel stands fom Amazon. The making of the crossover is a bit of a pain and a capacitor and inductance co...

Perfect diy kit! I'm very satisfied with the sound quality

These are 2 happy and capable speakers. I have spend quite some money on Dali Option 5 floorstanders but if I would have heard these in comparison these would have been my choice instead. Nice low and good attack. Pair them with a good amplifier and source and you’ll have loads of fun. And yes, the kits are not entirely complete (add a terminal for example and spend some money on insulation) but you won’t care once they are alive and kick...

I love these! Very easy to build and they sound great, this was my first time building speakers and definitely not my last!

Boards for the crossovers could be included, I have used backplates from 1€ picture frames to assemble them. Speakers sound fine, if anyone wants to build these in their apartment, they totally can. If you have no tools at all or paint, I don't recommend painting the cabinets as you will spend almost 100 for supplies and a lot of time trying to get a good finish. Just stain them instead.
