So once again we learn, xovers are the brain, not everyone can do one.

Yeah, that is not a new idea.

Dissing Zalytron or Madisound or any of the speaker houses over their creations ain't helping the DIY or consumers any.

And I guess you need to understand that some of that wires/xover/tweaking by the commercial houses is towards optimizing price margins to performance, not strictly performance. (At least thats why they sell Hot Rod or SE or MkII or Whatever versions).

Don't forget there are commercial offerings in the same price range of the marks you promote that are no better performers than the Zalytron offerings you dis.

Also Merlin does not shy away from expensive or difficult drivers in their VSM series. They go for what $6500. So they are able to do the expensive driver and good xover for about 5x what a speaker house will charge.

So your point is that, one can not stuff drivers in an enclosure and expect good sound. I agree that applys to speaker kit houses and commercial units alike. The good news with speaker kit houses is a that the fundimental parts used are usually of superior quality for the price paid, and you actually can easily learn to improve them.

But then again your point is to inflame than to inform I think.
