Buy Klipsch or JBL if you can. The resale value is so high. You can buy a used pair of speakers, use them for 10 years and turn a tiny profit by re-selling them. The brand image is insanely high. Can you get better performance for a fraction of the price? 100%. But you'll lose money on the resale.
Help this old rookie with speakers
Been reading a lot of the discussions and I am super impressed with the knowledge here.
And a sage piece of wisdom that I got 40 years ago is "if you want to get your a$$ handed to you, try to be an expert in another man's field".
So... I'm looking to put a new set of speakers in my living room. I have an NAD 2400 amp. that I have owned for 30 years, and it has served me well powering my Boston Acoustics VR975 speakers
I've had an affinity for La Scala's for a long time, but I think they are a little big for this space. So I was wondering if anyone had experience with the Crites Speaker Type CS Style B. They seem to be like Cornwalls and a very good price.
Thanks!

@ozzy62 Yeah! That’s a sweet deal on the LaScala! Congratulations. I doubt that most people could still buy LaScala for $4k… Yeah I’m stumped. Buying speakers based on a resale value alone seems like the smartest thing to me. Am I missing something ? At the end of the day you have speakers and you’re breaking even or earning money. If the speakers are valued so highly, they can’t be bad right ? Unless you’re trying to fit a giant box in a tiny room… I guess that when you’re older and wealthier the financial side of purchasing matters less. So I’m sort of very wrong?
