Would it be easier to get the most expensive speakers you can afford and then gradually upgrade electronics to get the sound your happy with from said speakers?
Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers?
Hello, just curious on this subject. I have seen threads where folks ask for advice on how to allocate their budget and this topic comes up. I also see systems posted on various forums where folks have $10K-$20K in gear driving $2K-$5K in speakers and wonder why. I have traditionally been a speakers first person as that is where I have noticed the greatest differences. For those that allocate more on gear vs speakers what are your reasons? No judgement, I am just interested in hearing another point of view.

All you said is perfectly right... But it lack the essential: no speaker beat their room... For the speaker to work at his potential peak qualitative level the room must be not only treated in a classical sense but mechanically controlled to serve the needs of the speakers acoustically and to serve also the listener psycho-acoustically ( Schroeder frequency for example must be adressed and many other problems) ... Then the room acoustic is the last and more important tool... It is not my opinion it is Helmholtz teachings...He never sold anything but he was the father of modern acoustic and psycho-acoustic science... He sell something in fact few people want to buy: science but more than that necessary listening experiments very costly in time more than in money though...But time is more precious than money, it is a too higher price to pay for most alas! But the truth is there... 😁😊 |
It is not false... But it is not true completely ... Most love speakers too... 😁😊 But they hate the time they must need to give learning acoustic to control the system/speakers room... Time is the last thing people want to give ...They prefer "buy and plug" with nothing to study...For some money is not a problem at all... The more rich you are the more busy you are also....Acoustic is not simple matter to understand...it was easy for me because i am retired... I dont speak about purchasing costly acoustic panels here... 😁😊 Anybody can do that... But it is not enough for me .... |
