Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ?
Having had many great speakers in the past ,but now semi retired what is the average price to get a quality speaker it seems around $15- $20k+. Is getting to be the norm , Wilson Sabrina x $20 k , Magic A3-$15 k , Marten Oscar trio $13 k
b&w 804 $15 k .I was maybe thinking , availability is now a very real problem also.I am a big MBL fan their entry level stand mount 126 ,is a true Best Buy ,it has the sameOmni directional Tweeter and Midrange , that are out of the reflections of a box , and dual apposing bass drivers ,that being said a pair ofsubs like theSVS 4000 SB brings this price to around $20 k . It’s becoming very expensive to have real refinedLoudspeakers , having had to rebuild Xovers in most Loudspeakers for their lack of parts quality ,it seems integrity is no longer the norm it’s more on profit . Please do offer your Loudspeaker options and how much more is truly needed to get a truly resolving speaker without taking out a mortgage.
Hey gris, we're buddies and agree on many things but I disagree about the Lintons, and your post about the grammar is full of bad grammar, itself, but is nevertheless comprehensible as is much bad grammar... I'm a budget audiophile (more like a musicphile who appreciates good value gear), and I'm an English professor by trade. |
I have had single driver speakers with subs , Tannoy the only ones I liked were there top 2 Canterbury or Westminster , active speakers the amplification too low quality not in the league of. Quality separate amps for example PassLabs , Ayre, Coda Gryphon , this is why i guess I have to try audioning speakers to my electronics which too I am looking to purchase . Having owned a Audiostore fir almost 10 years on average onky 25% of the purchase onky goes into the speaker ,including packaging ,the rest R&D marketing and markup, value I recently heard the Marten Oscar trio for $13 k a very nicely balanced Loudspeakers , I like the MBZl 126 monitors which require subs for the bottom end are very good buyt 3-6 month waiting list ,and prepay up front I would never do that, not very sound , many Audiostores willnot let you demo speakers at your home ,brick and mortar stores are few and far between . If you want to spend over $20 k+ it’s much easier to find your optimum speaker for the Xovers as well as drivers and cabinets are far more engineered to a higher standard, that’s why I mentioned $20k |
@curtdr It's ironic that I thought your sentences were confusing and with bad grammar but I am not an English professor and I am ESL as well so I wouldn't know. I pasted my rambling into Word 365 and it corrected nothing. So besides the Lintons we disagree on this too. I am glad we agree on the rest. |
