For a $20K difference you could travel pretty much anywhere on the planet, audition the speakers, listen to whether they’re working properly, look for cosmetic damage, and oversee them being packed for shipment if they’re acceptable.
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
two issues here, would it be smarter to buy the used speakers not knowing where they’ve been or how hard they’ve been played or maybe there’s something wrong with them. And the other issue is what happens to the value of my speakers immediately after the box comes to my house. And I guess the third issue is, amI insane for buying $50,000 speakers.
It seems like I’ll be losing $20,000 immediately and of course probably a little more since if I ever sell they will need to be reduced further so used price can be 30,000 if a dealer is involved which they probably will be.
This raises a serious concern that very nice speakers are just too expensive.
Fortunately (and luckily) I’m not married so that makes this process a lot easier

It's what most are to each other around here, more or less strangers, so that's just the terms under which we mingle. Nonetheless we should be able to gain from the experience and opinions of others. |
Understood. And that is usually the premise we all operate under. But I think the OP is being disingenuous by starting a controversial thread only for the sake of making some arbitrary point and not to seek actual advice.

FFS @ozzy62 you've made that point 10x so far. We get it. |
