The conclusion I've reached about speakers

After years of listening to box speakers the conclusion I have come to is that:

All speakers sound the same

A big speaker does more bass and goes lower. A bookshelf gives no bass and cant go as loud. 

Any other differences are either imaginary or DELIBERATELY contrived to make them sound better to the unsuspecting buyer.

The ONLY other differences aside from sound quality are the price and appearance. Prices can vary substantially and so can the way a speaker looks.

In other words, everything we thought about speakers is all wrong.

That is exactly my point. There is nothing new to be said. There are no breakthroughs its all the same. The posts on here have been the same over the last ten years. People asking: "Is speaker A better than speaker B?" 

How many of those have we had? How many more will there be?

Kenjit obviously doesn't have enough money to buy better speakers.

That doesn't change the conclusion I've reached does it? I have given speaker dealers many opportunities to demonstrate their super expensive speakers to me and they all sound the same. 

If the speaker designer decided to do a 2db rise in response around 6-10khz you will hear more brightness. But that doesn't make it better does it? That doesnt justify the price being $50k does it? No it does not.
