I don't think you can find a better pair of speakers than that for under 30k.<<
Whoa Sparky, hang on a minute.
First, define better. It's unquestionably different for every listener.
Second, "under $30K" covers a lot of ground. There are dozens of very fine speakers within that price range.
Third, the fact that most reviewers bought them only means they identified a good opportunity to audition and then sell the speaker for a nice profit, based on a $15K cost. Reviewers seldom keep components for an appreciable length of time.
Let's not get carried away here.
