DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea?


Looking at the high quality of drive units in DIY loudspeaker kits like from Madisound, GR Research, SEAS, etc., it easily looks like a sonic bargain.

However, the typical audiophile mantra is to demo for yourself to find what subjectively “resonates” with you.  Can’t do this with a kit.  But a kit could be a sonic jackpot for one on a tight budget.  Also seems fun to build.

What’s your opinion?

I guess it depends what you are looking for. Audiophile sound (not just good sound), a neat project (commendable), or trying to save money. 
I see it that even high end speaker Co can’t get it right so how is something that I build (even a kit) going to give me exceptional sound?!
