So simple, isn't it? When you are selecting kit, you just buy a heap of
stuff where the figures (or, at least, the figures 'as claimed') tell
you it'll work and Bob's your uncle! Yet the (hifi) world is full of
people who have done just that and who are not happy with the result -
time and time again, some of 'em!

You'd think it would be impossible to get it wrong, wouldn't you??

Well, you apparently buy on only what your ears tell you and are never
satisfied for more than a few minutes. Hence all your posts about your
latest toy - home made or whatever. If each of these 'improvements' is so
dramatic as you claim, you must have started from a very poor base.
Thing is you seem to be going in the opposite direction. Many older ones
here will have started out with SET amps and single driver speakers - even
horn loaded. But moved on as better became available. That's not to say we
didn't gain a deal of pleasure in starting out down this long route - but
revisiting those techniques of yore is always a disappointment.
