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

@emergingsoul from another thread you started under amps-preamps titled "McIntosh Sonas Faber love affair, alternatives? you stated "Presently have Bowers 802 d3 which is really good but always trying to improve things...."

So now at least we know what your current speakers are. Now all we need is what 50k speakers you are considering? Please do tell.

@emergingsoul so many questions have been asked yet radio silence from you. So tell us more about what current electronics you have? Are you into vinyl or just digital? What's your current speakers? And biggest question is what 50k speakers are you considering?
