In Reply to: The common man's KEF LS50 is the KEF LS50 posted by Dave_K on July 18, 2021 at 08:31:30:
However, the LS50 is built to a price point that includes distributor and dealer profit shares, and so...
I cheerfully assume that, for example, if an audiophile were willing to pay the retail price of a pair of LS50s ($1500) for DIY parts, the result should be better.
I think I should print up some T-Shirts that will say:
LET'S DE-PRIESTHOOD-IZE
LOUDSPEAKER BUILDING!
Case in point: SEAS makes a Graphene-cone 5-inch coaxial that has a US onesie-twosie MSRP of $555--EACH.
Two of those, two crossovers, and two decent cabinets (perhaps from IWISTAO) bring you to $1500, and obviously, you have spent a lot more money where it counts than KEF's business model allows for.
No disrespect meant to "real" companies. Who employ people and pay benefits, and so on.
