Just a guess, but I'd venture that on the basis of the commonly held belief that a speaker is the most important component, people keep replacing speakers as they seek the ideal sound. In most cases, this doesn't yield the expected results because system synergy is lacking or room acoustic deficiencies prevail. It's conceptually easier to imagine fixing aural defiencies with this or that new speaker which we hope will correct things rather addressing the complicated issue of system compatability.
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?
