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

Purportedly is the key word. I always wonder if a lot of members in this forum talk a big game with no skin in it.

Troll posts?

I think the more important question to ask yourself is why you posted about speakers in the amp/preamp section.

@jpan , I used to wonder about this myself, but finally I just grew to accept it.  

There was another member who went by @jumia  who used to do the same thing (posted about everything in amps/preamps).  

The point I was trying to make was the difficulty of purchasing extremely expensive equipment which should be priced a lot less. 

That's what this whole thread was all about?  LOL!
