Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component?


A very informative fellow on youtube reviews high end audio gear. He pays an insane amount of money on ampifiers, speakers and digital sources. He tells you what he thinks about quality, price, customer service and performance on such brands as Magico, Boulder, Wilson Audio and many others.

So here is the question. What are YOU willing to pay for a pair of speakers? An amplifier? A DAC or turntable setup? I am interested in what you WOULD PAY, not what you have paid in the past.

For me, I cannot see myself paying over $5K on speakers and likely not more that $3K on any other component.... even if I had the kind of money Elon Musk has. Am I crazy in saying that?

But my wife control the supply money all my life because i dont have time or interest for money management and my only expanses were for books  and music...

 

That's my situation too. As long as I can afford to buy what I want I have very little interest in money. From what I've seen in others, the chasing of wealth often seems to be a rather pernicious addiction that ultimately defeats it's original purpose.

In any case my wife will never stop me from buying something if I want it bad enough but she will ask to think about family priorities first.

And I do.

However, as time goes by and I see how fragile one's grip on life can be, I also recognise the folly of putting off one's wishes indefinitely.

 

I had been a fool all my life in audio matter ... But i learned that to be more than a passive consumers is the road to freedom and knowledge by acoustic basic  EXPERIMENTS and experimenting with  creative simple devices ( i never bought tweaks) ... This experiments i created for me  dont make me the one and only wise dude here...

 

My experiences too.

We're not the only only ones of course. Folks like YouTube reviewer Andrew Robinson have openly admitted that after owning loudspeakers that cost well in excess of $20k (Revel, B&W etc) he has managed to find the same level of quality at much lower prices, and with far less disturbance to his mental health.

It's no surprise therefore that he considers himself a recovering audiophile.

Interesting indeed...

In fact, there is no universal price for a set of stereos. It depends on the needs of use and the budget that you are willing to spend how much you can invest. Therefore, the price of the products may vary, so it is impossible to say whether the equipment is expensive or cheap.

I hope that the above information will be of some help to you.

If I really want something and I do t have the money for it u will save for it until I have enough to buy it. But yea there is always a limit. I mean I’m not gonna spend 100k on an amp or a pair of speakers that I don’t have the money for. But if I did have the money for what I wanted there is no limit to what I would buy. So to answer the question. It’s yes and no 😂
