"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.

inna,

anyone that spends $20,000 for a piece of wire is either stupid or has more money than brains, ask yourself this question what can they do to the piece of wire to make it worth $20,000 or $40,000 or $80,000, absolutely nothing and most of these companies that are charging that are using OFC wire which is the cheapest wire for audio that you can buy, anyone that knows anything knows that OCC single crystal is far superior to anything OFC at any ripoff price and that was proven over 50 years ago already so anyone that uses OFC is behind the times and as for speakers there's only a very few companies that use it internally for their speaker wire because it's about 4 to 5 times the cost of cheap OFC junk.
