I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?

two issues here, would it be smarter to buy the used speakers not knowing where they’ve been or how hard they’ve been played or maybe there’s something wrong with them. And the other issue is what happens to the value of my speakers immediately after the box comes to my house. And I guess the third issue is, amI insane for buying $50,000 speakers.

It seems like I’ll be losing $20,000 immediately and of course probably a little more since if I ever sell they will need to be reduced further so used price can be 30,000 if a dealer is involved which they probably will be.

This raises a serious concern that very nice speakers are just too expensive.

Fortunately (and luckily) I’m not married so that makes this process a lot easier

Not a good feeling paying 50g for something that your expected to realize a 20g opened box devaluation. Given today’s market not even caring what brand or model I highly doubt they were worth 50 when new. At that price one would think you’ve spent Considerable time listening and like what you hear. If the money is there and cost doesn’t matter… It doesn’t matter. If you’re feeling pressure and sitting on a shaky fence perhaps that budget is telling you something. Definitely a personal thing, good luck with that.

Cheers

Apparently you’ve many more questions than possible answers, sounding like a discombobulated post, try a new therapist before dropping 50 large..Lol
