I Have 100K for Speakers?


I saw a post today that caught my eye. New to the hobby and is looking t0 spend 50-100k for speakers. At that point is how far are we into "return on investment". There has to be a point where the $$ spent has no relation to the sound you get. I'm just questioning the point as to when does this get kind of silly..No?

Frankly speaking, I wouldn't know an absolute answer. It gets silly when the sonic result is trivial compared to the investment. In real world terms, this point is usually reached below ¬30k.

The reasons are many, not least because the products (spkrs) out there are often mediocre performers or plain abysmal -- however nice looking.

Even if I wanted to spend 30k AND had wifes approval I don't think my ears could tell differences enough to be cost effective..
I'm suggesting that yr ears will tell an appreciable difference up to around that price level.

The answer to the question, "which" 100k speakers is easy, and given above ("frites")
pay a talented designer to come over, look at the room, and then build (speakers) to order.
