This is exactly what I was talking about above, and what Wayne suggested was the way of things.

This forum is becoming a refuge for manufacturers, not one for DIYers. The DIYers will leave and the manufacturers will stay, and the only purpse will be to display the manufacturer's products.

By having the moderator say: ".....my choice is always to buy the plans for a proven design by an expert like Jim, who has the knowledge, test equipment, and experienced ears needed to optimize a design. You pay a few dollars more, but you get a well designed speaker," you are clearly implying that someone who DIY's an array couldn't possibly have a well designed speaker.

Clearly, what the moderator's direction is, is to center discussion on the proven designs of certain manufacturers. This will drive the discussion away, and the DIYer's away.

Since I am a DIYer, it sure is driving me away.

Its all about what you want. You've made it pretty clear what you want, FredT.
