Not according to Darko:

Of course his job is industry promotion so he has to say that but his argument is that if DIYers costed their time then it's not economical. What he misses is that people DIY in their leisure time - time in which they would not be earning money anyway.

So if you DIY your speakers and save a grand over equivalent commercial product you were going to buy instead, you effectively made a grand in your leisure time where usually you'd make no money at all in that time. Win, win.
