This is definitely a personal thing. It depends on your personality.
If it were me, I would be planning on keeping these speakers for ten years or more. I would be incredibly disappointed in spending $30K and getting something scratched or banged up, let alone if there was a sonic problem… I would probably slowly realize. For me $50K is a lot of money. Also, my dealer would give me credit for them if I chose to upgrade in five years. He will come and set them up. But that is me. I want absolutely no uncertainty involved in a large purchase like that. If I bought used and they were all scuffed up… I’d end up selling them and buying new ones. That is me.
Some guys would be proclaiming what a genius they were for getting such a bargain and they would love that every time they sat down and listen to them.
