"I have heard some truly horrible sounding speakers built by individuals [that claim to be] knowledgeable in Physics and Math, the theory may have been correct but the result was not."
There is no shortage of these being sold at Audio salons all around the world.
I agree, building Y.O. speakers, has a learning curve, but do to the large amount of totaly obscean grossly expensive and very poor sounding speakers on the market, it may be time to revisit speaker design. (Tell me how they come up with 25 grand for two cones stuck in a box with no X-over ?)
Start simple (which may be the best anyway) and it becomes a great hobby, in and off itself. You may need to invest in allot more than computer software too.
