>The best acoustic devices in the world have been made and tuned by hand for thousands of years.

Says who? You should really acquaint yourself with current research, starting with Toole's infamous "Sound Reproduction: The Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Loudspeakers and Rooms".

Anyone who has read about or experienced instruments and music halls that were made before the commodification of electricity?

That book sincerely answers that sort of confusion. Audio production (here music creation) is very different from audio reproduction. There is no real way of judging the former, except for room acoustic which has been scientifically guided for a long time.
