I Have 100K for Speakers?


I saw a post today that caught my eye. New to the hobby and is looking t0 spend 50-100k for speakers. At that point is how far are we into "return on investment". There has to be a point where the $$ spent has no relation to the sound you get. I'm just questioning the point as to when does this get kind of silly..No?

Frankly speaking, I wouldn't know an absolute answer. It gets silly when the sonic result is trivial compared to the investment. In real world terms, this point is usually reached below ¬30k.

The reasons are many, not least because the products (spkrs) out there are often mediocre performers or plain abysmal -- however nice looking.
i'm being serious...get a couple of friends and just buy a speaker company thats for sale. beauhorn or castle for example.
Could you take the time to explain what you're trying to do? Are you going to change your entire system, or just place the new speakers into your existing setup? A new room? The reason I ask is that you seem to be concerned with the best bang for the buck. If that's the case, then you need to take a more holistic approach. You'll have to factor in the room and the amplifier in picking your speakers. If you don't plan along these lines whatever speakers you end up with will probably not achieve good sound per dollar spent.
