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?

Why not choose the mini one under budget and has a lot of bass? 

This Bluetooth speaker uses high quality drivers to produce stereo sound and has a passive radiator to increase bass response. It's a small unit packed with big sound. Just hold the speaker while it is playing music and you can feel the power emanating from it. Yes, it has a slot for an iPhone on it, but even if you never put a smartphone on that slot, you will still love the sound of this speaker. It can get very loud without distorting. And like I said, it has a lot of bass.

I'm sure its a fine speaker with excellent bass response. But please $26. No, no, no that wouldn't do for pretentious audiophiles. Don't you know they equate mega bucks with mega sound??? Come on you know better than that.

There is a special iPhone anti-vibration mount on sale now for $3,200 that will make that $26 speaker sound a LOT BETTER!

People spend money on what makes them feel good. Period.  Cars, wine, watches, houses, Hermes bags etc.  Judging others negatively for something you don't find value  or believe in says something about yourself. This holds true for more than material goods.

Making an even decent speaker is well beyond the realm of the average man or woman. Believing this feat is possible gives humans too much credit and is delusional. It also makes light of and shows ignorance to the tremendous research and development that is required to produce  a product that engages and makes one covet a special piece. That is why all speaker do not sound the same. As far as I am concerned, if the gear is used well and often,  providing many thousands of hours of sonic bliss, the prices can be considered a bargain (I can't believe I am saying this). After all, the market is always right. The levels of performance, beauty, rarity , and yes cost required to give the purchased product an acceptable level of "feel good" and incremental performance increase sought  varies depending on the means and psychology of the purchaser.
