I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?

@thecarpathian 

I am not here enough to understand who most of the players are. 
 

It seems to me, judging from some of his comments in the thread, that he is trying to coax a discussion about the political economy of audio. Not in so many words, but that’s sort of it in a nutshell and that’s why I responded, because that’s an issue for me as well. Not the issue, an issue. And why I made it more explicit. I did get under one persons skin. 
 

Theres a little bit of trolling in the way he’s going about it, which maybe makes it an administrator thing, but imo the people who are saying he is not “real”, just don’t want to pursue what he is hinting at. Which is fine, but then why not just ignore it? Theres an unconscious thing going on here. 
 

my two sense. 

Yes, I understand the basic premise of his point, it’s his weird way of delivering it.

Simply bring it up for discussion instead of this constant false personal investment.

My post about others posting wasn’t directed at you, it was for the guys who are giving him serious advice like he’s actually going to buy something. Either way, let him have his harmless fun. I'm out.

How do you know what I plan to buy. I sincerely have an interest in buying overpriced speakers because they may sound better than what I have and my tube amplifiers may not be allowed to truly shine with my current speakers.  But I didn't post to get a critique on my system components right here, just some overall philosophy issues that I'm dealing with.  

I happened to believe many of the people on this forum have great insights and because of how the world is so isolated from everybody else this forum  presents an opportunity to pursue these types of things in a very helpful manner.

I'm with you.

Maybe do your homework/research on specific speaker options for whatever amplifiers you own and then maybe you can take your own advice and buy new. That is , if in fact you are really going down the purchase path.
