So many great comments.
I guess the overriding concern that I have is that I think everyone knows speakers can be very overpriced and that’s really absurd.
Manufacturers create subpar speakers at lower price levels and tempt you to buy higher priced speakers that sound better. It’s a con game. They are taking advantage of the seductive nature of listening to things that sound really good to us. It’s affecting the part of the brain that lacks the good judgment when it comes to spending money.
Think about it, why are we being encouraged to spend $50,000 for the type of speakers we all should be listening to.
