Smaller Kairos substitute?

Hey all - first time posting here. I'm really intrigued by the Kairos and am definitely considering building it. However, for my application, I originally planned a smaller speaker (probably with a 5 1/4" driver). Are there any kits that can compete with the sound quality of the Kairos, but come in a smaller package? They will be paired with a nice sub, so I'm not overly concerned with bass response as long as it's low enough to blend. If there's nothing out there as a kit, then I may just end up going with the Kairos anyway, but just wondering if anyone knew of anything competitive.
Thanks!
Nick

The only 5.25" driver that will give the Satori a run is likely the SS Rev 15W/8530-K00. There are LOTS of designs surrounding that driver on the net, as it's been around for a long time. I used it in my "Scandivifias", Zaph in his "ZD5", Carl in his "Intimates"; just to name a few.
Later,
Wolf

If you plan to use a subwoofer, then it is hard to go wrong with the Continuum.
