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?

I would think the 15-20k range would be the limit;but I have never heard a 20k pair of speakers; sure would be fun to listen though.
I would like to hear the big soundlabs that Dr.West has out now; I have m2's and think they are excellant.

if you spend 50k on speakers, you can spend the other 50k on a truckload of house cats. all things in moderation.

You can have a lot of money, but you still have to know what you're doing and have some semblance of an ear. Otherwise it's a crap shoot at best. He or she needs to do some research and some listening before plopping down a huge wad of cash. As most of us know, although there's a GENERAL relationship between increasing price and increasing performance, it's neither linear nor predictable, even within the same product line sometimes. It's good to figure that out BEFORE making a six figure investment in audio.
