I spoke to one of the good and successful speaker designers of today, he
told me that the first 200 pair of speakers he made sounded like crap,
fortunately he was paid to build the last 100 pair of these.

Everyone can buy good quality drivers and components, this is the easy part
of designing speakers.

The most obvious first piece of advice is that you should stop
building speakers! Chances are that your electronics are more than
adequate, but a relatively recent 'showdown' by Celestion invited
amateur speaker builders to come along and demonstrate their best
work, so that Celestion could compare them all fairly and also pick up
any useful ideas from this wide cross-section. To cut a long story
short, evenj the best and most exotic of these home-built speakers was
easily outperformed by a £300 pair of Celestions.


This is very interesting story, so can you give us some more details or
web/magazine links? It's not rare for amateur builders to talk about
"bad quality, cheap parts and low value" of commercial speakers.
