I think I'd like both to inflame and inform, yea-- though I do not "dis" ma good brutha DIY'ers in general. Just the notion that one can build a speaker on the order of say, the JM Lab Utopia (star of the thread beneath us) by buying the sandwich w drivers from Focal or Kimon Belles or whoever at like a thousand bucks a pop and by CAREFULLY designing an enclosure, using high quality parts up the yin yang etc. To say you can do this means you are some kind of sick genius with a Beautiful Mind. How come?
Cause this means that you can do, by some calculations on your pc and by dint of a few thousand bucks and some words to the wise from the always (brilliantly) personable Elliot Zalyet, what people with 30 or 40 years in the business, state of the art cad-cam programs and in house machining to their own damn specs cannot. Is it possible?
Sure. you might be a smarter speaker designer with just your few beers and your PC and your SEAS Odin kit tweaks (I'll just put a Hovland here-- and a Black Gate here and YES THATS IT!!!! I'll call it JM BLAB!! I'll make a mint!!) than John Bowers or Spencer Hughes or Bobby Palkovic (however the good sir spells it).

And I am Miss Loretta Lynn. Do not anger my organ.
