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

Well good. More of you should act like you "get it" instead of feeding the troll.

Sounds like you have plenty of money, buy both, then you will have a back up pair.

@emergingsoul , we now have 4 pages of comments, along with repeated requests for you to both identify your existing system and what "$50K speakers" you are contemplating.  Identifying these hypothetical speakers is not so that someone else can snatch them from your grip but in order to give you the requested advice regarding whether it makes sense to buy them used or new, and whether they are "worth it." By knowing the rest of your system and room size, it is easier to give you valid advice (if that is what you really want).  However, other than some sleuthing from another thread by another member to try to figure out what you have for a system, you have consistently ignored everyone's question, Why is that?  Why keep participating in this thread when you intentionally refuse to disclose such basic information?  Because of this, I have to conclude that you are just trolling and there are no "$50K speakers" at all.  Come on . . . if you are going to fabricate a thread for general opinions, at least fabricate these mysterious speakers of which you speak.
