Now you've gone too far. DIYers may not be able to produce an equivalent speaker
as cheaply as a commercial one, but every commercial speaker can be improved.
DIY for economy is mostly dead everywhere, not just in electronics. Unless you
include kits. DIY now is about quality and style.

No, commercial speakers *have* been improved. That is the point They
are the product of careful initial design, then redesign and tweaking
both in anechoic chambers and real listening rooms. That is a luxury
most don't have for diy. They build one set, then live with the
result. The chances of a happy result of being better than the
commercial equivalent are vanishingly close to zero.
