"I'm a believer"

I’ve been around high end audio for a great number of years. I have had the opportunity to hear, at shows, at audiophile friends homes and at audio shops, a great number of high end speakers: old and new, from the low, to the ultra megabuck price ranges. I’ve heard very, very expensive speakers that didn’t sound so good to me, and then, I’ve heard vintage speakers or relatively affordable speakers that just knock my sock off. In all my personal experience in this great hobby of ours, IMHO, there is no other item in high end audio that fall under the "Rule of Diminishing Returns" like loudspeakers.

"Seems to me, that the point of diminishing returns for a lot of people, mysteriously starts at the point that their ’sour grapes’ kicks in."

Or their wallets give out.

I disagree strongly with that statement, but hey, you do you.

"...anyone that spends $20,000 for a piece of wire is either stupid or has more money than brains,..."

Ahh yes...another thinly veiled insult hurled from the cheap seats.

How about if someone is running $500k worth of amplification? (D’Agostino Relentless monoblocks, for instance...) Are they stupid then? More money than brains?

Or a "money no object" pursuit of the absolute pinnacle in audiophile sound quality?
