best value, synergy, looks - I think my dream system is 10K speakers, 3K amp integrated, 4K TT.
Maybe 50K on isolation and 80K on cables
Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component?
A very informative fellow on youtube reviews high end audio gear. He pays an insane amount of money on ampifiers, speakers and digital sources. He tells you what he thinks about quality, price, customer service and performance on such brands as Magico, Boulder, Wilson Audio and many others.
So here is the question. What are YOU willing to pay for a pair of speakers? An amplifier? A DAC or turntable setup? I am interested in what you WOULD PAY, not what you have paid in the past.
For me, I cannot see myself paying over $5K on speakers and likely not more that $3K on any other component.... even if I had the kind of money Elon Musk has. Am I crazy in saying that?

@2psyop looking at your system pics, you went way over budget.... |
@baylinor I sense it's the opposite: who sets a limit regardless of their bank account based on what's the best value for one's ear |
@jonwolfpell hookers? seriously? That's pretty dark. |
I should have (and do have) other priorities, goals and hobbies that cost money. So it's easy to say, if I had $x, I would spend x/10 on audio. The flipside is diminishing returns. If I bought new speakers, significantly better ones than current ones, I would need a new room, which is not possible i my current house, so I would need a new house and then I would realize it's a whole lot of money that I could find much better uses for. I guess that defines me as a non-audiophile. |
