A few years back, I contacted Joey Audio to inquire about basic build quality/construction details of a particular model. Specifically driver-to-baffle attachment method (bolted or wood-screwed) and baffle material -wood, metal, composite whatever.
In no time flat did I receive an accusatory response suggesting I was looking for information regarding a DIY build -for myself !!!!???
I can totally see that. These are not really questions which are often asked except by people looking for trade/construction secrets. While he could have simply declined to answer, I can also see his view point.
As I've written before, compared to a lot of commercial speakers, the part to purchase cost is very fair here. You could pay a lot more if the speakers said Gamut or Wilson. JA speakers are a decent value, based on parts alone, more so if you like the sound quality.
Of course, some keep trying to price the steak they eat and insist that's how much the meal should cost. Woe to them.
Best,
