Speaker design customer feedback


Hello, i'm Lawrence, and i'm looking for a source of unbiased, trustworthy information and, most importantly, opinions for my A level speaker design. Hence why i came to this audio forum, and i would like to ask for any personal opinions, and soon in the future, answers to a survey, all in order to really sharpen my design, and consequently, my final product. 
So my question is, what are your biggest issues with speakers, and in what areas would you really want something to be changed?
Your answer doesn't have to technical, it can be do with portability, overall use, connectivity, or even simple aesthetics.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, just a small bit of knowledge is all i really need, anything worth sharing would really help. 
Thanks,
Lawrence.

Can you elaborate on your design goals as to what target system your after and sound ideas your after. What size Speaker are you designing?


I look for a speaker that engages me that is musical and invites you into the music apposed to overly analytical. I do like it to be detailed but not in your face. I'd also like it to have high efficiency and an easy load on the amp. Also something that is not designed to impress you in the show room but over the long term is unsatisfying. most times this is when they boost bass or other areas. I like a realistic sound that is true to the source. Having options as to placement would be nice. I also  like a speaker that disperses into the room more I'm not a fan of the pin point sweet spot as I like to move around when listening.

Nowadays there are plenty of speakers that performs musically speaking, Too many competitions, my preference is musical speakers , aesthetic second, good example Elac B6 2.0 And Wharfedale 10.1. Price is third. 

You might do better here.

The biggest problem is of course the exponential cost of superior loudspeakers.  You can find a competent floorstander for $1000, a good one for $5000, and close to superlative for $10,000.  Now if only those multiples were 1, 2, and 4.

Man, the speaker market is so competitive with so many options out there from established manufacturers and direct sellers that I'll just wish you the best of luck in finding some point of differentiation.  Kind of like introducing a new craft beer at this point.  Is it too late to go back and just design and sell cables instead?  To me this is more like the razor blade replacement cartridge of audio with relatively high profit margins and more ripe for disruption.  Sorry I'm not much help here, but I'm rooting for ya!
