I agree in principle Andy: "But it still remains a fact that the "boutique" high end low-volume builds are very expensive compared to the costs of building your own. Especially when you want to specify stuff like amorphous core OPTS."

OTOH, some DIY builds are very expensive(!) for the quality of end product. My current project - currently held up due to custom chassis design/fabrication - started out as a moderately expensive build... but is growing into a very expensive (by my standards), plain-looking build that may very well not justify its DIY cost. Over $7k5 for a pair of 2W monos - yeah, maybe not a bargain... Thankfully, it is about the learning, craft, enjoyment, engagement etc.

There is plenty of expensive DIY (or DIYmercial) junk out there though. Hopefully my build is not one (but it could be!)
