Personally, I think all the hype and excess funds held by older souls, and highly technically expert people who frequent this forum, as well as all the audio dealers on this forum, are what drives this market even higher. The point I was trying to make was the difficulty of purchasing extremely expensive equipment which should be priced a lot less. The only reason why it’s so high is to support lavish marketing and profit motivated executives to exploit all those excess dollars available to support all this.
Truth is, very few people understand all that goes on with a speaker. It’s complicated. Those companies selling these products take advantage of this and when you look into things really closely the people selling the products have no clue what they’re selling. Why should they? Those people with money to spend on the product are not really pushing for a better understanding of what they’re buying Beyond just a few quick questions and maybe a listening session that’s helpful and breaking out a credit card and taking delivery and being treated rather well while they do it. There are really nice people selling audio products.
And for those people with excess funds to spend, they feel better spending more money even though same experience could be achieved for considerably less but for some reason spending more money gives people comfort. if Something seems really good and it’s not being sold for very much i wonder why. And I even say to people selling the product you should charge more and people would feel more comfortable about what they’re buying, including me. And I am rather frugal.
