What type of speaker would sound better?

I will take a high end high performance 2 way over an average less expensive three way any day.    Actually doesn't matter if it's the same price, it's the design ,execution  and parts quality that makes a speaker great.  

I recently bought these , phenomenal speaker

One of the best speakers I've owned regardless of size or price.  

There is a myth that many people believe. "If it costs more it must be better." 

Because the speaker is $5k doesn't mean it sounds better.

In fact, there are marketing strategies used to trick the puplic by simply raising the price on an item to change the perception and desirability.

Here is a recent video about the marketing of Grey Goose vodka you may find interesting. Highest price for the affluent crowd that thinks they deserve the best. And the vodka wasn't that good! All a very well done marketing scam. A 2 $billion lie.

@gdaddy1 hear hear

This video is a good one too - https://youtu.be/JFXmIh4P2dM?feature=shared

Note I have expensive speakers (A Pair of MoFi Sourcepoint 888s and a pair of Genelec 8361As). We seem to forget than anything more than $1000 is expensive luxury purchasing to the average human when it comes to audio

@kofibaffour  Thanks!  Amazing. Palessi. LOL.  

I look at high end audio speakers that cost as much as a luxury car and I have to ask why?

The car is incredibly more complex to make, has thousands more custom parts. Shipping cost, dealer showrooms. MUCH more technology in a car than any speaker. Not even close!!

Here's a mechanical/ electric device been around for a hundred years placed in a fancy box. Costing as much as a car. Come on man!

You can't build a Mercedes but a speaker is an easy project comparatively.

There are great and poor examples of all kinds of speaker designs, so it depends.  I’ll take better parts and better design any day over more of something lesser.

Better parts and better design at a given price point tend to lean more towards neutral with better clarity, so it’s easier to evolve the system with placement and associated gear to sound natural with a wide range of music.  I can easily add an active subwoofer to smaller high quality speakers if bass seems shy in a given space.

Bigger boxes and more drivers of lesser quality tend to have more of a sound signature or coloration, which to me makes it tougher to ever achieve clarity and  neutrality for a wide variety of music.  A colored speaker can still sound good, depending on how you define good, but clarity can’t be added after the fact.  To get the best of both worlds tends to cost more. 

There’s really no way to do it wrong as long as you enjoy what you hear.
