...is to take a most commonplace (aka cheap) very ordinary driver and make it sound way better than it has any right to...The Fostex no doubt would work and maybe work well. But there is something special in DIY in coming up with a speaker that sounds way better than it ever should given the parts. If people have really low expectations, then they are much more easily amazed and impressed.
In DIY, as in commercial speakers, a lot of guys in the backs of their head believe that drivers and parts that cost more just have to obviously sound better too, everything else equal. Its fun to mess with DIY guys in this regard, and nothing better to try than a Gough design with a Goldwood full-ranger. If you read the original Pop Science article on Gough and his design, he absolutely delighted in messing with the so-called audiophiles in 1961 this way. That he seemingly broke all the rules in his enclosure design made it even more fun.
