Custom Tuning Conspiracy

Your example is no different than demanding auto companies design every car to each individuals size, driving style, taste in body style, number of cylinders, HP, .........

There are more than a few people who spend millions on autos, but that doesn't mean we all do. And if you knew anything about macroeconomics, you would understand that the cost of doing business would be (and is) cost prohibitive. It doesn't matter if "High end [cars] can already cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. So there is plenty of money already going into the pockets of the companies." That money does not cover the cost of providing luxury cars to every car owner. And unless you live in a different world than the rest of us, a very few percent (yet still many thousands of people) can afford what would be a break even price for the company to make individual speakers for every person. 

Did you ever see the movie Meet the Patents? You are like the airline customer service rep on the phone with Greg Focker:

“Yeah, you gave me the wrong suitcase. Uh-huh. Yes, it's a black Samsonite. Uh-huh. Ok, well don't you think that the Samsonite people, in some crazy scheme in order to make a profit, made more than one black suitcase?”

(on the phone)

And I found my perfect speaker. Bought without any modifications or upgrades. I have listened to many speakers, and these are still my favorite. Sound perfect to my ears. Maybe I am lucky ???

What am I missing? It already exists…. You can order speaker kits to your exact specs and put it together….

"If you want something mediocre then why are you an audiophile? Being an audiophile is about wanting the very best. If you want the best, you have to ensure that the speaker is tuned to your preferences and to your room. Why should the designer know better than we do about how the crossover should be tuned? Perhaps to his ears he wants +2db at 10khz but to my ears I need -1db at 10khz?  perhaps he has chosen linkwitz riley fourth order, but what we really want is a shallow first order on the bass and a second order on the tweeter? "

- You are creating problems & situations, then trying to solve them when just about nobody cares and just the existence of them is questionable. You continually try to ram this crap down our throats when it should be abundantly clear, to you, that just about everyone couldn't care less. It seems like your wish for attention is your goal here. Are you really getting the attention you want here?

Your example is no different than demanding auto companies design every car to each individuals size, driving style, taste in body style, number of cylinders, HP,

A car is more complicated than a speaker. It has much more parts. With a speaker, the main area that needs to be tuned is the crossover. Customizing a speaker is much easier than customizing a car. A speaker is just a wooden box with drivers. A car has hundreds of parts.

Your argument is like saying we should just make eyeglass lenses in specific sizes because it would be cheaper that way. Unfortunately the world does not work like that. Eyeglass lenses are made to measure as you very well know. And the same goes for clothes. If you want a perfect fitting pair of trousers, you need them to be made to measure because none of the existing sizes fits you perfectly. 

 It doesn't matter if "High end [cars] can already cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. So there is plenty of money already going into the pockets of the companies." That money does not cover the cost of providing luxury cars to every car owner. 

That is exactly the conspiracy which i am here to expose. If a speaker company can produce a speaker for $200, and it has no bracing and cheap parts, then it would only cost a few hundred dollars more to use ultra high quality parts. If you knew anything about the cost of drivers you would know that the difference between a cheap driver and a high end driver is often only about a couple of hundred bucks. Yet the price suddenly goes up by ten times. So dont give me this nonsense that there are costs to cover. You are speaking as though speaker companies make zero profit out of these high end speakers.
