Dennyb,
I, too, had the dream. I started my own company. I spent $thousands, did everything "right". My goal was to offer a speaker (6 1/2" 2-way)
with incredible build, parts quality, and solid engineering. The speaker was very, very good...very accurate, and sounded great. All the major A/V mags said so! I advertised, big bucks... Internet sales only, no 48 point dealer mark-up. Sold some, sure. Despite all this, the company is out of business. Maybe I didn't devote enough time to it. (Have a day job, you know) This is a 24/7 endeavor. IMO, the money is in the ultra high end, where you can sell a few mega-buck speaks and make a little money. As someone else posted in their response to you, "No one wants a gallon of perfume for $15" People agonize over a speaker purchase. But if they spend a fortune, they feel like they have bought one of the "best".

The best of luck to you.
