Build my own speakers?

I am wondering if I buy the best components like scan speak-revalator tweeters and such if it can be possible. I am thinking it can for a fraction of the dealer cost of a new top of the line speakers made. With all the sites out on the web for cabinet design and such. Speakers with the revalator tweeter sale for $20,000 and up. The tweeter is only about $400 brand new.

Flat 10 ohms. Yes that a big problem unless you like one speaker. Then you are still looking at plus or minus 2 ohms. And a mini monitor to fill a large room. They usually consist of two way speaker. I never heard a mini monitor that sounded great. My thought is to build a 5 speaker system in the first order. Sorry but i'm lookin at 4 ohms with a swing of plus or minus 2.6875 ohms.

Thanks for all the replies. I am a serious audiophile. I have 2 degree's one in advanced mathematic functions (electronics) and the other in mechanical. The speakers i en-vie are Vandersteen 5a's. Richard did his homework as in I do. Richard also is coming out with a new speaker. I did my homework as well. I am going to design and manufacture the best speaker in the world for under $20,000. I just hope Richard will be my friend.

My first project build will be made from MDF (many layers glued with a proprietary substance) and ordinary cement as a filler (don't ask also it is proprietary). My crossovers will be built and designed by me. Also I did extensive studies on property of wave forms at certain db levels (back lash etc.). I will keep the first modal for myself. If turns out good I will be-able to produce a set a month (due to I work full time now).

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SPEND ON THE BEST FLOOR STANDERS IN THE WORLD?
