"How about not burning out, for one."

You can burn almost tweeter with almost any amplifier, and by feeding low enough signal you can damage woofer with much lower wattage than listed. So, first you need to determine intended application...

"The knowledge I previously mentioned came from". It seems you were not great student.

"...no speaker works well in every environment. I believe that is entirely subjective." Geez, if you believe that you are completely delusional."

"...delusional if you believe that you cannot enjoy speakers..."
I can enjoy music on portable radio, I can enjoy it on second rate console from 50s etc., hell, I enjoy Victrola, and I can enjoy it in many ways and forms but that does not mean that each way it sounds as good as it could of should.

"...my own experience with Maggie's..."
LFT-VIIIs are significantly different from Maggies, you have shown your lack of knowledge again. Not to mention that I have vintage AR in second system, and owned about 15 sets of speakers, and auditioned many many durig last 20 years.

" I cannot afford kits that are capable of performing .." If you can not afford kit you can even less afford to design it on your own, for reasons that I explained before. Actually the cheapest way to accomplish what you want is buying used.

"I also want to..." As others pointed out, having known, relatively good reference that you can tweak is great beginners tool learn.

"Do you even build your own speakers?" Based on your attitude and composition, I would say that I had built my own speakers while you were still using diapers, but to be more precise in early 80s using Dynaudio, Vifa, Seas and Kef Drivers, winding my own inductors, building my own cabinets... (not only for stereo but even bass bins for my bass guitar). After coming to US, I neither had time nor need to do that, except fixing few speakers, but hopefully when I retire I will be able to play.

"...and as I suggested earlier have been no help to me..."

Well, "A small mind is obstinate. A great mind can lead and be led. " It seems that you have had made your mind.
