It's really really inefficient to hand build complex machinery of any kind .
Anecdote time: a local artist where I live tried to prove this piont he bought a really cheap power drill at the nearest tool shop . And pulled it to pieces and painstakingly hand built a replica casting all the parts metal and plastic wound his own motor windings etc . And logged the time and cost ( only diff was that he made it transparent so all internal parts would show up ). He estimated that even with a really low pay hour salary it was well over 10k $ and did not work really well and quality was worse than made in China . But speakers or both easy and very hard to build . Buy drivers stuff box market the thing . Or build your own lab like Harman do real research and come up with stuff like M2 . There are all kinds of inbetweens to . Makes for interesting times when buying speakers . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
