I have thought about commissioning a design and build using the Radian Be coax and bass drivers for my next speaker build. But I would prefer to avoid Neo magnets, which in the case of the Radians drops the efficiency and raises Qts... not what I want. Still, I might try it if looking for a speaker related challenge.
My most recent speaker used the GPA duplex using a Rick Craig crossover in a cabinet I commissioned - very nice indeed... Probably cost 1/3 of what I would pay for a "direct" sale or a 1/5 of a bricks-and-mortar retail sale.

If you're up for it, having a speaker built is FARRRRRRRR cheaper than buying it from a dealer.
And you know the parts are the best available and the design is good.
Yeah, it can be challenging to bring the design and build of the various components together - drivers, crossovers, cabinets. But, doing the research and engaging good people increases the likelihood of success. Well, it worked in my case, though I was a little nervous at times.
Cheers,
