Here's my DIY project. $2,000 in materials.
The Shindo Petite speakers are $35,000(I think... maybe more!).
Yes... the Shindo's have tuned cabinets, and a crossover designed by a master-son. And my xovers are stuffed into a cigar box and I'm using 2x4's as legs (experimenting w various feet). I can custom tune my speakers to my room and choose caps, resisters and coils to fine tune the tone I want. The best speakers I have ever heard in my home.
And, I have $33,000 left over to buy music. Anyone have a collection to sell?
With the exception of Kondo and a few others, paying 10's of thousand of dollars per component in the search for better sound is a fools errand.
This perception is not something the audio industry (especially the press) can making a living from.
