Oppression within the speaker industry and how it can be stopped?

The market is not conspiring to deny anyone the custom tailoring you seem to think we all deserve.  It simply is not possible to mass manufacture products, which make them cheaper, AND make them bespoke.  You want custom tailored clothing, you pay through the nose.  If everyone demanded the same for every consumer product, there would not be enough workers or resources in the world to fill that kind of unreasonable demand.  

Also, you CAN get custom designed speakers.  I go to a shop that does just that--people come in and listen and make their preference known and one-of-a-kind speakers are built for them.  The speakers are then installed in the buyer's system an tuned to their liking, which can mean not just speaker placement and adjustment of midrange and tweeter controls, but alternative choices in internal wiring, changes to crossover points and slopes, changes in crossover parts, and even changes in drivers.  No big surprise here, this does not come cheap.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could get all your furniture custom designed to fit your body and aesthetic ideals, to board an airplane that has seats specifically designed just for you?  Let's get real here.  If mass production is "evil" as you say it is, then only the most wealthy would have access to such bespoke consumer products.  How is it a benefit to mankind if audio gear was limited to the top one tenth of one percent of people?

No big surprise here, this does not come cheap.

Neither does a Magico come cheap but theyre not even custom tuned are they?

Oh come on that already is true of high end speakers

How is it a benefit to mankind if audio gear was limited to the top one tenth of one percent of people?

High end audio is already very expensive. Custom tuning does not come into the equation even once you get to these prices. So the argument that it would be too expensive is clearly false. If DIY folks can custom tune their speakers without spending a fortune why cant they? The fact is that its just cheaper and easier to do it the way its done currently. Make one design and then mass produce that design and then sell them to the audiofools. 

You are agreeing that there is a conspiracy by implying that CUSTOM TUNING is indeed desirable but that theres a reason it cant be done. So the conspiracy is that the speaker industry is HIDING that fact from us and instead leading us to believe that their NON custom tuned designs are just as good if not better. 

Anyone else imagining kenjit with rainbow hair, a bullhorn, and covered with a "THE END OF THE BUTTERWORTH CROSSOVER IS COMING!" placard?

Word to the wise, crinkle the tinfoil first, it makes for a more fashionable fedora.

Hmmm, I’ll have to ponder that for a while... You writing skills are getting better K.. How’s that?

Yea you’re right... Oppression though.. I guess I’m lucky, spend 89 days in a 4 ft by 4 ft cage, eatin’ cockroaches in your rice.
I became quite the Yoga Expert in that time..

Speakers... oppression.. hmmm, ain’t workin’ for me K. Let’s be a little more careful, AY.. Some may take offence...

But yea, there is a LOT of overpriced, boxes out there.. AND some really nice ones.. Mine for one (actually 2).

Tune your own box, that's what I use to tell all the girls/boys. :-)

Kmini, and KMAX will be up and running by spring...Be patient..

For the record, if there is to much BOX tuning, or Flute playing.
