2. speakers

How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all??

I was just looking at Stereophile's  recommended components, for speakers. 
Within the Class A restricted extreme low frequencies category are:
KEF LS50 at $1500  and
Wilson Sasha at $38,000.
Why would you pay 38 grand when you can get the same category for 1500?  Why I say?

Even worse!!!
In the full range Class B category we have the KEF Ref. 5 at $20,000.
Why would you wanna pay $20,000 for a speaker that is outclassed by the same family (KEF LS50) at a fraction of the price?
How does this make any sense????
Stereophile, seriously.  Let 'er rip homie.

Do you live in a dilapidated trailer and tell your friends that its the same as a $5,000,000 custom home?

Do you not understand the difference between a 1984 Le Baron and a 2020 Porsche?  Or are they the same because the have tires and an engine?

Is Natural Ice as good as Chimay?

Are you able to tell the difference in quality in anything or is it just Speakers that are all the same?

The title of this thread reminds me of the Chewbacca Defense

I thought I saw somewhere stat that the LS50 uses the same tweeter as the Blade.  Not sure though.  It would be nice to know!

I think LS50’s are pretty awesome.  The clarity and imaging are pretty great.  They do some things better than most speakers and then there are a few things they don’t do so well.  I have never heard them on really high End stuff but I’ve heard the scale with equipment also.
