The size and shape of your room, the type of music you listen to, and the level you listen to are more important than how much to spend. Once those are determined, go and listen to a lot of variables/speakers. I like the Maggie MG20.1, Revels, Jm Labs, Wilsons, B&W's, Martin Logans, and many more, all for different reasons. How much is to be spent on amp(s), preamp, front end, etc. Speakers are only the slave, the amp/speaker is the most important link, and you have to get it right or all is lost. Hold onto your money until you listen to at least 10 good speakers, then decide how much to spend.
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?
