Why pay so much for super high end?


Most speakers costing $50,000+ use Seas, Scan Speak or Accuton.

In DIY forums most speakers designed use bargain drivers and usually are only 2.0 designs not bookshelf or center speakers to complete a surround system.

I’d love to have a Scan Speak 11 speaker system for atmos with 3 way bookshelves, center and floorstanders.

Why aren’t the designs out there and why are you guys pissing away all your money.

Personally I won’t get an upgrade from my speakers unless it’s of this caliber and neither can I afford nor want to donate money to these thieves.

A 3rd party 11 speaker atmos scan Speak system would be nice but I’m not spending $250,000.

Why on earth aren’t there designs out there for this and why do you all piss away your money?

I don’t get why hi fi isn’t all DIY even honest factory direct companies mark up 300%.

Unless you pull in $1+ million a year and don’t have any time I don’t get it.

Are you guys lazy?

Someone easily could design a great crossover and cabinets for everyone and the days of paying over $3,500 for a pair of loud speakers if you got some time or know a friend who could build cabinets would be over. I know of people who could design cabinets that rival $100,000 speakers and cost less than 1% than that.  Someone with some experience could easily design a diamond, beryllium and soft dome and various versions for various tastes.

I don’t get it. Speakers are so simple.  Crossovers cabinets and drivers.

You guys just throw your money away I don’t understand it why?

My wife has enough shoes and bras to open her own store. What's the markup on those items?.
A cousin has watches displayed on pedestals, some costing over $100K each. Fabulous timepieces, what's the markup?.
I used to own the Jaguar XK8 convertible. Worth every penny, markup?.
An Aunt has a custom staircase from Europe. Final total exceeded $100K.
I know people that have multiple penthouse condos, and wear jeans every day. What do you make of those people?. Which has the bigger markup?

It appears a once great website, with informative threads, has been taken over by ............? Get a job, find a hobby, enjoy life.

Oh ya, and get those teeth fixed.

if you buy the most expensive Maggies you will have a hard time getting much improvement on that

OTOH, they may not fit your room

If you guys haven't figured it out yet, the OP could care less about the questions he's asking. He just wants to get everyone pissed off, and start heated arguments. Beyond that, he has no other goal. I would just ignore his posts.
