Thanks for your insights Arny & Tom. Along the lines of what you
posted, are you aware of any scenarios where DIY'ers have had their
speakers measured more critically and compared to some other
competently performing commercial speaker, say PSB? It's not unusual
at DIY gatherings for awards to be given to 'best speaker' that have
more to do with appearance and uniqueness as opposed to sound quality.
But I'm not downgrading DIY speakers. I love the "format"; god knows that I
spent years wallowing in it, and I don't mean to discourage it, but frankly
engineers at Paradigm, PSB and more lately JBL and Infinity have discovered
all the "secrets" of making good sounding speaker systems for cheap.
