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
@tannoy56 ”…Do you realize that most of the opinions you’ve got is from members whose entire system cost less than that, and they should be asking you for an advise instead.”
Oh, I think you would be surprised how many folks here have good systems. You might take a walk through the virtual systems section of the forum.

This is definitely a personal thing. It depends on your personality. If it were me, I would be planning on keeping these speakers for ten years or more. I would be incredibly disappointed in spending $30K and getting something scratched or banged up, let alone if there was a sonic problem… I would probably slowly realize. For me $50K is a lot of money. Also, my dealer would give me credit for them if I chose to upgrade in five years. He will come and set them up. But that is me. I want absolutely no uncertainty involved in a large purchase like that. If I bought used and they were all scuffed up… I’d end up selling them and buying new ones. That is me.
Some guys would be proclaiming what a genius they were for getting such a bargain and they would love that every time they sat down and listen to them.
