I bought a pair of Thiel Viewpoints off ebay for a few hundred bucks. I'm listening nearfield and it's sublime.
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.

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. |
I know what I wrote was fragmented, thank you, regardless. Still, I am missing your point. (If you were missing my point, I’d be happy to reword it.) Regarding my English, feel free to lecture me, you will find lots of issues with my grammar.
