I too think that the room, and synergy are the problem, if more Audiophiles (myself included) spent the time and effort and money into room treatments and in a perfect world could audition everything as a whole to find that perfect synergy you would see alot less speaker upgrades, but there is also upgradeitis the plagues so many, and too many are in my opinion missing the point and not stoping enough to enjoy the music, some folks upgrade while still planning on another upgrade 2 upgrades ahead, so when they get the new speaker it has already been predetermined in their mind that they want to be in another model...and that sets up for defeat...its pretty insane, I guess if you have unlimited money or you live in your moms basement this can be ok....but in the real world...its nuts!
More speakers for sale than other componenet. Y?
There are more speakers for sale on AudiogoN than other component, except for cables (1512 - 1606). And even that is very close.
I understand why there are so many cables for sale (High profit margin), but it just struck me as odd, because speakers are often thought of as the cornerstone of a system. Aren't most systems built around a good set of speakers?
Maybe that's why there are so many companies trying for that niche?
In my case, I have had the same pair of speakers for about 10 years (Alon I), and I have completely replaced the electronics and cables. Some more than once.
What is your opinion/experience?
