Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?

Anything more expensive than that will only be incrementally better, and logarithmically more expensive.

Having owned Grado60s and LS-50s, I can tell you there is an audio world out there that is a quantum leap past that level of gear. But I do agree with what you were trying to say. 

I wonder if High End and High Cost are one of the same. But I think most of us possess enough maturity to understand that some others have more disposable income, it's just a fact of life. However some of the more interesting but simple systems on display here, are very intriguing, you don't always have to spend a lot to get a lot.

@larsman I would stongly recommend using a subwoofer system with the LS 50s.  I another recent post on another thread I recommended a Rythmik sub for the Kefs, but there are many out there that will fill the bill, including distributed bass arrays.

I am currently using a single REL t/5 with Harbeth P3 speakers.  By crawling around on the floor I was able to get good placement that limits resonant peaks and nulls.  I've also balanced the output and crossover to just gently introduce the low frequencies (nothing dramatic; but enough to open up the sound).  I may add another t/5 someday, but I'm pretty satisfied with what I have.

"Having owned Grado60s and LS-50s, I can tell you there is an audio world out there that is a quantum leap past that level of gear. But I do agree with what you were trying to say. "

I would venture to say that the difference between the LS 50w system and a million dollar system is less than the difference between LS 50s and typical laptop speakers.

A pair of Kef LS 50 self powered wireless speakers can get you stereo audio that should satisfy most people for a lifetime.  Anything more expensive than that will only be incrementally better

Some live in an alternate reality. I want to have what you are smoking.
