I do not think so. There is no such a sing as optimal generic DSET but there is a concept of optimal DSET for a given situation. So what I think would be nice if some kind of company come up with a Reconfigurable DSET . The Reconfigurable DSET, or RDSET from not and on, is a two way commercial DSET that has 4 parameters interchangeable depends of the customer demands. It might be not infinitely interchangeable but to be preset for 3 positions for instance.

1)      Low pass fitter in LF stage + 2 octaves LF transformer roll off

2)      High pass filter + 3 octaves HF transformer roll off

3)      Volume between the LF and HF channels (it might be an steeped attenuator)

4)      Power, loading and output impedance of LF channel

The idea to have custom not DIY opportunity id wonderful – in fact it is how it should be. Look at those Thailand guys – they built dozen custom amps. Unfortunately there is no in audio a protocol known to me according to which the proper requirements might be supplely. The boulders would build according to their understanding of what is right; they might or not might be what you appreciate. Even if you develop a detailed circuitry and provide a very detailed and specific specification then there is still a lot of room what you might get. You need to have very in-depth and very intrusive control over what people (if you do not know people) do in order to have the results exactly as you expect.

I think the best is to develop and scope a project and then to recruit people paying them by time. Usually it turns out to be more expensive to yourself. Also I personally never was too successful with this approach as I am pain in ass customer. I also not necessary always know what I need and have more unanswered frustrations in my “designs” then the solid solution to those frustrations. The success is to found a person who is cable to render your sonic frustration into audio implementation… good luck with it…

Anyhow, I think audio people will come eventually to RDSET and tailored acoustic systems. If you traveled and visited different playbacks around the Wold and around your country then you know that then most interesting installations are those where owner have custom-tailored playback for his needs and for his few of sound, not the industry’s pre-caned audio irrelevancy .
