I agree.
Although "absolute bargain" is a bit of an understatement.
I keep telling people to buy custom/diy made speakers; I really should stop.
I'm not sure if any one listens to that advice.

There's a guy 0.5 km away from me who owns a store that sells "Wilson Audio" speakers or similar with ScanSpeak Revelator drivers for 109,000 USD (probably more now).
A guy on some audio forum sold roughly the same speakers but with ScanSpeak Illuminator drivers for 2,000 USD
That's a bit silly.

Something a poker player once said sticks with me, I'm paraphrasing:
"when you lose a lot of money to a regular person and you know it changed his life, it bothers you because you know you made a difference in that guy's life, but when you lose a lot of money to a billionaire you don't care because you know it doesn't matter to that guy."
