I have been building loudspeakers for almost 17 years now,mostly as a hobby,but I have put together systems for people. The real high-end stores seem to be dying out,for example,here in The Dallas Area,we have had a few store go belly-up,in the last 15 years,I would assume simply because they were'nt reaching a certain market. And it seems that some of these chain stores are trying there hand in it. I was in one the other day and and looked at set of floorstanding speakers,it was relatively small,they were asking roughly 2400 for the pair.And I could tell right away there was no quality in these things,the drivers looked cheap,the cabinets were attractive but had no substantial build to them at all.

nearly all the speakers marketed out there are either closed box,or reflex loaded,there are know transmission line,or TQWT designs out there at all to my knowledge.

I just got through putting together a set of speakers using the TQWT
arrangmnent,they were awesome.they would beat anything outthere,using just a single 6.5" woofer,and dome tweeter.
