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
Wilson, Rockport, Raidho, Sonus Faber, ATC, Focal, KEF, Magico….too many to list. Unless you’re buying a factory-direct brand, 10% is not a good deal I am sorry to say. Keep in mind that MSRP is typically between 80 and 100% more than dealer cost. They have plenty of wiggle room. But don’t take my word for it, try calling around to a couple dealers and negotiating the price on some of the aforementioned brands.

@emergingsoul do you like saving money? Buy used from a trusted seller and you should have no issue |
@emergingsoul , What brand speakers are you agonizing over. |
