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

If you "know" that it is a con game then why are you even purportedly even considering $50K speakers and wasting everyone's time.

I’d say go for closed back headphones given your previous complaints about noisy weed wackers distracting your daily listening.

@helomech  What specific  $50k speakers have you gotten 25% off?

"

Just go to any dealer slinging $50K+ speakers and ask them their out-the-door price. If they don’t offer you a minimum discount of 20%, I highly suggest seeking out a different dealer. If you think paying full retail is the norm, they’re laughing when you walk out the door. "

So again what $50K speakers have you gotten your  25%, opps 20% deal on.

@helomech "I happen to know where I could go get a pair of Acora SRC-2s for at least 30% off."

Good disclose where.

You keep acting like you’ve made this 25% off deal in store so give the facts on your deal - brand, model, dealer. Post your system with pictures while you’re act it so we have the proof. Dealers make 20-30% deals on lines they are moving out of and on demos. Reading adds isn’t making chest puff deals.

BTW those Acora's aren’t $50K speakers - $37K

Like I thought you haven’t made a deal. And go look at the discoun5s offered on demos and discontinued lines versus blathering it's 20-30 %. Look at the Sound by Singer demo sales page as an example. Seeing an add at a discounted price isn’t walking into a dealer and face to face working on a deal on new speakers.  so save the chest puff commentary

There's a track record of nonsense in this case

@emergingsoul 

Maybe do your homework/research on specific speaker options for whatever amplifiers you own and then maybe you can take your own advice and buy new. That is , if in fact you are really going down the purchase path.
