Did I Expect too much?


I purchased a pair of speakers from a US manufacturer who I shall not name.  The speakers are beautiful and the sound exceeds my expectations (after a minor upgrade).  So why would such a reputable company use six dollar binding posts?  It makes no sense.  I replaced them with Cardas binding posts and decent 12 gauge wire between the driver and posts.  My system is valued for clarity and clean highs.  The difference was audible.  I know, snake oil.  But it wasn’t.  I don’t think that spending $15K for speakers is nothing.  So yes, I was disappointed.

Please share the name of the company and the speakers.  It would be helpful for prospective buyers to know.  Quality parts throughout is one of the reasons I bought Arendal and Revel speakers.  My subs have some lower quality parts but I expected them to at their prices points.  They still sound excellent.
