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

Easy to see why you're not married. You basically use this forum to brag that you're considering $50,000 speakers and all the reasons you can think of why not to buy them. Please  be considerate by not wasting our time.

Love your comments. Not all of us are retired, but I do admit I'm getting close with each passing year.  The 'wasting our time' comment was mostly based on the Ops lack of deciveness on whether he should buy new or used.  We all know that spending money on most audio components is never a good financial. If the Op isn't comfortable buying pre-owned speakers then put your 'big boy pants on' and buy new. No need to drag us into the Op's indeciveness.
