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.

@kennymacc  it's pretty ridiculous when a home audio system cost as much or more than an automobile, I bet the auto industry has a lower profit margin per car than high end audio per system.

@gdaddy1 the prices PS audio charges for direct buy don't seem to be any cheaper than they were with dealers, just more profit for PS audio.
