Poor Fritz

@kenjit When you see a doctor, why do you pay money? Experience, expertise, training, and good advice. Fritz is in his shop, eating sawdust, trying different woods, experimenting with crossovers, trying different amps, creating a website, going to shows, contacting reviewers and customers, packing up speakers, arranging with shippers -- and all to do what? Make a living.

Some people learn, work, create, and risk. Some people just talk. You’re a talker. That’s it.

You continue to tilt against windmills, thinking you’re the Don Quixote of the audiophile world. But in fact, you do harm, not good, by disparaging good people doing good work, work which makes other people happy.

Get a hobby, one which preferably requires that your fingers be occupied somewhere beside a keyboard.

Its highly offensive to suggest that there is any expertise involved in screwing a pair of drivers into an mdf box. Where is the expertise in that? 
There is nothing wrong with earning money by making speakers. The question you can't answer is this. At what point does a speaker become overpriced? What you seem to be suggesting is that no matter how high the price is, as long as someone is willing to pay for it, its reasonable. Its people like you that have made hi end audio so horribly overpriced. Not only does this make it unaffordable but it promotes scamming.

Healthcare is a horrible example to use as that is just another area where people are being overcharged for little work.

@kenjit 

Not only are you obtuse, but your math doesn’t work.

How can you buy drivers for 300.00, pay a cabinet maker  and still save two thousand dollars on speakers that cost 2200.00?

It's a free country, but perhaps the comments would be less tone deaf if included in a different thread?

Thanks for listening,
