I'm no expert, but after reading Mike Senior's "Mixing Secrets", I would 
like to share a couple of suggestions:

- Avoid ported designs. They're always affected by some amount of 
ringing ad unevenness in the bass response. Only the most expensive 
commercial models manage to minimize such problems. So, that's my guess, 
a closed box design should be safer for a DIY project.

- Google for "Auratone 5C": they should be the easiest studio monitors 
to clone (single driver, no hi-fi at all), and a very useful tool in 
your studio even when you already have "real", good monitors.

Good luck,
Guido
