Unless you buy one of the powered ones, a mitre box and hand saw are what you want to cut nice angles.
Many mitre boxes come with a built in saw on them. But a mitre saw without a box to guide it is pretty useless for nice angles. 
Cheers

Okay, speaker enclosures is something I know a few things about, and for the life of me, I can't imagine why you would want to make mitre cuts at (I assume) the corners...
We need to look at your plans. Could you scan a sketch of your plans, and we can discuss further? | |

I agree with Knot
Even some sort of dimensions would help.
If it is just some trim for the front a mitre saw or box would be fine.
If it is for the corners of the sides of the box and you just have to have miters a table saw or sliding power miter saw would be the choice. But there are simpler and stronger joints for that location.

Your basic speaker enclosure should employ a simple set of frames (heck, pine or fir sticks will do) and then you can screw the MDF panels into those.
Be forewarned, Whir, I take Loudspeaker design and construction extremely seriously (ask Socalgal, she heard my most recent foray into loudspeaker design) and this thread could get really sticky...  | |

I'm using a comp that is not my own, sometimes I can't get access. It's a sporadic thing, nowadays.  | |
