Are these things really as overpriced and under-engineered as everyone
says they are? I see that they sell on Audiogon for around $450 a
pair, is the $1600 MSRP a scam?

These are Gerg's own words on how he 'designed' the product. You
decide whether the speakers are worth $1600.

So, it appears that this guy just ordered some speaker parts, had the
speaker supply house design the crossover (for a fee), screwed the
parts into a cabinet and BINGO!!! instant "audiophile" speaker
company. Is that about the size of it?

Yes. For $40.00 Madisound will design a 2 way xover for anybody. I would
recomend using better quality drivers, say Scan Speak or Focal. You can
check out the Driver for The Jupiter speakers on Madisound's
web site on their catalog page under Silver Flute.
