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

Buy used from a reputable dealer.  The used are often last years demo.  Mine has credited me the full value of the prior purchase toward the newer speakers.  As a licensed dealer warranty applies.  And even if he doesn’t carry a line he stands behind the purchase.  I’ve gotten to demo new equipment in my own system and he sets up the purchase.  Turntable(reference) , phono preamp and speakers. Didn’t matter if it was a 8k purchase or a 40k purchase

 

knownwho you’re buying from and build on that relationship.
