RE: I wouldn't say brash, per se, as much as

"Speakers have a threshold for wattage, ... I'm trying to at least choose ones that are less likely to have issues."
What issues speakers of nominal wattage close to your amplifier rating will not have that others of smaller (or larger) will not?

"were chosen based independent measurements " means squat if they sound like crap, or are incompatible with other equipment..

"test knowledge I have gained through research" as I said, based on your questions, that knowledge is questionable.

"as good or better than mass-market speakers I can buy for the same amount."
Ain't gonna happen, by the time you include cost of the equipment needed to make and test speakers, not to mention your time. If you are doing it for fun etc. that is another story.

Finally, "These will be speakers that could end up in a variety of rooms/positions with any manner of objects strewn throughout."
speaks volume of your incompetence in this subject. Anyone who spent even the minimum effort in this hobby is aware that speaker that works well in any environment does not exist.

So if all the above in your opinion is not an advice, I can be even clearer:

Stay with kits developed by others, as others noted, Zaph and others noted above, read speaker design books, read Madisound and other speaker board before you attempt to design your own speakers.
