I'm going against the grain and recommend the Fritz Carbon 7 mk ll at $2,500 which with 35 -20hz and 87db with the right system has always pushed its weight above most speakers at its price range. Just type in Fritz speakers in Google, the quality of the craftsmanship and accolades from professional audiophiles speaks volumes. I look forward to anyone bringing forth a better quality speaker for this money that pushes WAY above its weight.
Diminishing Returns
I know the point of diminishing returns is different for everyone, probably dependent on their inclme, how much importance they place on the stereo, and to exactly what sound they will be happy with.
In these times (not pandemic but rather trickle down tech) where I feel like you are able to get more for your money, what price point do you feel you need to be at to achieve audio nirvana?
I was researching the absolute least expensive speakers and found that the Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2, the Wharfedale Diamond 225, Triangle Borea BR03 are a few that get excellent reviews and can be had for around $500 or less and it got me thinking...
At $1000 the Whatfedale Evo 4.2 looks very compelling (I loved the Evo 4.4 at RMAF last year)...
At $2000 there seems to be some seriously stiff completion...
Just a fun discussion regarding what you think are outstanding deals sound wise, what the speakers are and how much they cost. No “well such is $10,000 and it competes with $100,000 speakers”. I’m talking for the average person who isn’t making $100,000 a year. I’m talking $5,000 or less, less is better, much better. I understand that for some, $5,000 speakers are like $500 speakers to others, no need to point out the obvious.
What I do want to know is speakers that you feel punch waaay above their price point and at what price (the lower The better) you feel like diminishing returns comes into play. Also, lets try not to make this a Tekton DI conversation because it looks like they are the answer to this question at $3500; lets get some others in here that we may not know about.
If this thread sounds dumb to you, sorry, and just move on please!
Another one in question for me would be the SB Acoustics Satori Ara kit...
