Current speaker threads are boring


Almost no talk regarding great speakers, just some endless midlevel stuff. Why is that?

I don't know what the parameters for "great" are.  How many people have had opportunity to really get to know the crazy expensive speakers?  You can't really tell at shows, you can get a taste at a dealer but how many dealers have 200k speakers on display?  

The far high end is ridiculous simply because it's so inaccessible.  Who knows if that stuff is really any better than stuff that's a tenth of the price?  It'll go louder maybe.  It just doesn't interest me.  Anybody can make a giant speaker, put a big price tag on it and say it's great.  Since next to no one will ever hear it who's to say if they're right?
