@sandthemall thx, I am just trying to be a perpetual student… I think everyone should DIY some audio gear…
best to all

To Buy or to DIY, here is my question
If I buy the speakers that appear closest to what I desire
they are $11k new and $8k used.
If I buy the raw speakers and build it
the speakers alone are $2.2k.
That is a 3 way system.
Still must add costs of XOs and cabs.
Assume the total custom build cost would be about $3k.
The $8k speakers used are Proac D40Rs.
The raw components would be from ScanSpeak and SB acoustics
and include 10" woofer, 4.5" Mid and a planar ribbon tweeter.
MadiSound provides XO advice.
