@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.
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.

@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. |
I never heard s BD 5; I was kidding about that upgrade. I have heard some pretty wild drivers, such as the equally expensive Voxativ fieldcoil full range driver. I also heard a system with fiekd coil woofers and midrange drivers and a field coil tweeter that cost $60,000 a pair. I could not afford the power supply for these drivers, never mind the drivers. |
Simonmoon, The OP has single-driver fullrange system; there is no crossover. I’ve heard the slightly larger version of the OP’s speaker and it is the first single-driver system that I really liked a lot. Since then, I’ve heard a few more great sounding single-driver systems, like the ones made by Songer Audio. |
