What you propose is the typical untrained hobbiest approach.1) Slap some parts together from somebody else's schematic.
2) Listen to it.
3) Hey it sounds great because I built it.
4) Measurements - why? It sounds great!
5) Theory - Why again? It sounds great!I'm sorry but that's not the way audio (or any technology) products are designed and built in the professional world.
1) Model the circuits. Either by calculator, slide rule, pencil and paper, or computer sim.
2) Bread board the design.
3) Measure paramaters and verify the math is correct. Adjust as needed.
4) Listen to it. If somethings not right, then go back to step 1 & 2.
5) Then, design for production and package it.
6) Measure and Listen again to the finished prototype.
7) Tweak the packaging design as needed.
8) Measure and Listen again.
This idea that match, physics are optional is again just a rookie hobbiest myth. So you can get away with it for a while. But sooner or later you are going to hit the wall and have to learn how thus stuff really works.
