How do you determine how much to spend on speakers

I don't think this took any guts. He was obviously able to choose the other products and make the comparison BEFORE the show.

Dr Diamond: Regardless of how Dave Wilson was able to "beat" the mega-dollar system, the fact that he did so says a lot about what one can do with a little bit of money and a lot of know-how when it comes to electronics. I've been trying to stress much the same point here for years. Sean

I`m not going to tell what to spend speakers, amps, linestage, source, I will tell my experiance in the upgrade path. I probably would have saved many thousand`s of dollar`s if I would have purchased the one`s I really wanted in the begining rather than one`s I thought I could afford. But that`s the story of my life BUY HIGH SELL LOW oh well. David

As much as you can afford, plus 15%!!!

Sean,
I was just responding to the statement prior to mine, saying that it took "guts" for Dave Wilson to put on the demo.
I completely agree with you about "know how vs. the dollars spent."

I personnally altered my speakers according to instructions by someone far smarter than I. They now, in my opinion will beat out speakers costing five times as much. I also purchased an SACD player that, when tweeked, far beat out CD players costing more that two or three times as much.
