I’d say go for closed back headphones given your previous complaints about noisy weed wackers distracting your daily listening.
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
two issues here, would it be smarter to buy the used speakers not knowing where they’ve been or how hard they’ve been played or maybe there’s something wrong with them. And the other issue is what happens to the value of my speakers immediately after the box comes to my house. And I guess the third issue is, amI insane for buying $50,000 speakers.
It seems like I’ll be losing $20,000 immediately and of course probably a little more since if I ever sell they will need to be reduced further so used price can be 30,000 if a dealer is involved which they probably will be.
This raises a serious concern that very nice speakers are just too expensive.
Fortunately (and luckily) I’m not married so that makes this process a lot easier

Hmm, indeed...., if he had a Mofi sourcepoint 888 ($5000) set up on high caliber electronics and some 50k speaker sounded a bit turdy thereafter (i.e., in audit comparison), there is a decent probability that $45,000 could make it to some unfortunate young lads. |
@deep_333 the general consensus here is that if one has a zillion to spend on a piece of audio equipment, stones in a box, diamond cable lifter, etc. it doesn't matter how meaningful or meaningless it is. The scope is burn that zillion

@emergingsoul so many questions have been asked yet radio silence from you. So tell us more about what current electronics you have? Are you into vinyl or just digital? What's your current speakers? And biggest question is what 50k speakers are you considering? |
@emergingsoul - this decision is personal as both have positives and negatives, only you can decide if “new” is preferable to “used”+ save 20k. What we would do based on our budgets and preferences is not important to your financial situation and preferences- it’s your money to determine what “you” should do. Only you can decide if spending an additional 20k for brand new is worth it. For myself, I’d be tempted to buy new if it was at a deep discount , plan to keep long term or endgame, or there aren’t much quality used offerings. Otherwise, I try to buy used to stretch my limited funds. |
