You have that right-- it makes sense.

The better answer is that DIY people in general often think that
they can out-engineer the engineers at Commercial venues, or can
buy parts cheaper than they can. Both are often untrue.

What the DIY person can do is decide what he really wants, and
then attack that in his own preferred way.

While I respect this very much and have done a lot of it myself,
eventually you will want the best that can be built.

Now, whether you're doing pure DIY, part DIY/Commercial, or ALL Commercial, you will run into reality: GOOD costs MONEY!

NOT wasted money, but money that you HAVE to spend-- if you want
the performance.

DIY people have two advantages, and only these two: (1) their labor is free- to them, that is. How much it costs their wives and friends remains to be seen. (2) DIY does not have to be shipped, guaranteed,
or lose money playing around with SOME (only a few, usually) customers who are idiots, equipment destroyers, cheats, or dunces at packing and shipping electronics-- or in understanding how they work, or how to
build a good music system around them.

Some people can take THE BEST audio equipment, and get BAD sound!
Manufacturers secretly hate these idiots because they often smear good products to their friends or the public.

All of this costs money, so the DIY person can usually avoid all this.

BUT-- does the best DIY compare to the best commercial? Sorry, but
I've never heard that happen-- ever.
