I once had a prof who designed his own speakers and built them out of concrete. They were massive, full-range beasts that were flat down to 20 Hz. (in the right room). As it turns out, concrete is surprisingly good speaker material, aside from the near total lack or portability. Some crazy (and crazy rich) audiophile bought them for $50K. Selling slabs of concrete for $50K a pop sounds like a great business model, but there is a severely limited number of people willing to pay that much for speakers, and the speakers apparently took hundreds of hours of tweaking to work "properly" anyways.

In fact above a fairly modest amount (a few thousand bucks, maybe) most people will get superior results from changing the room, rather than spending more on the equipment.
