I had different speakers from highend brands and was never happy. 

Do not worry, you won’t be happy with your new speakers as well. It is a little dirty secret that no one told you yet: speakers do not give happiness.

My last search was close to end up with Focal Utopia (good highs, terrible lows but at least something) but once I heard this 2m horn I got it and not looking around any more. I heard Cessaro Alpha (my friend has and now he is upgrading to Gamma), Vox Olympian (during Munich expo), but I'm not going to buy speakers anymore. After some experiments with crossover, I decided to build my own, because I feel that I know exactly what sound I want.

 
To know exactly what you want it a very good thing. If you do build your own speaker then there is another important factor: to know how to get there. This one a bit tricky as there is no definitive ways and it would requires some experimentation with yourself.
 
Regarding your last drawing. The way how you depicted the frame you will not have time-alimented. Look at my thread about Mocondo Frame

….and do not discard Jessie’s ideas in his own thread.
 
I personally feel that I tis a bit premature for you to think about the frame. I do agree that is very pleasurable to draw the sketches and visualize the future system but at this point you do not know what kind drivers you will be using, how you going to use them and what kind horns you will be employing. You do not even have a final decision how many channels you will be loading into the frame. So I would advise to finals the acoustic system entity and only then suspend and efforts to put them in attractive design. BTW, the ideas of fame you had above will not work from structural perspective. Those “hanging” horns are incredibly heavy and you clearly have insufficient structural support.
 

When I say that it is a bit too early for you to think about the frame then do not take it little. You can do whatever you want BUT you are wasting your time as I absolutely assure you that you will change your mind about what you want and how you want AFTGER you actually start to listening the channels and decide what  stays and what is goes away for your installation. So you will 100000 times change your mind, so any todays “idea” will become irrelevant in future. Trust me, I was there.
