Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ?


Having had many great speakers in the past ,but now semi retired what is the average price to get a quality speaker it seems around $15- $20k+. Is getting to be the norm , Wilson Sabrina x $20 k , Magic A3-$15 k , Marten Oscar trio $13 k

b&w 804 $15 k .I was maybe thinking , availability is now a very real problem also.I am a big MBL fan their entry level stand mount 126 ,is a true Best Buy ,it has the sameOmni directional Tweeter and Midrange , that are out of the reflections of a box , and dual apposing bass drivers ,that being said a pair ofsubs like theSVS 4000 SB brings this price to around $20 k . It’s becoming very expensive to have real refinedLoudspeakers , having had  to rebuild Xovers in most Loudspeakers for their lack of parts quality ,it seems integrity is no longer the norm it’s more on profit .  Please do offer your Loudspeaker options and how much more is truly needed to get a truly resolving speaker without taking out a mortgage.

Hey gris, we're buddies and agree on many things but I disagree about the Lintons, and your post about the grammar is full of bad grammar, itself, but is nevertheless comprehensible as is much bad grammar... 

I'm a budget audiophile (more like a musicphile who appreciates good value gear),  and I'm an English professor by trade.

sentence fragment:  "Like just to put the words in the right order so that it resembles English?"

sentence fragment:  "Or with bad grammar but making some sense."

jumble, mix of sentence fragment and comma splice:  "Or am I missing something, this is how audiophiles talk?"

"Still, I am missing your point.  (If you were missing my point, I’d be happy to reword it.) Regarding my English, feel free to lecture me, you will find lots of issues with my grammar. Whenever I post a question though, I do my best to not confuse the community."

You English is fine and comprehensible enough, as is the OP's.  You had criticized the OP's English phrasings, unnecessarily... this is why I wanted to point out that you ought not throw stones.  I saw no need for you to be hostile towards the OP's grammar, particularly since yours isn't textbook either.  Often, in a forum such as this or in everyday life in general, mine isn't textbook either.  And, it doesn't need to be textbook; this is an informal forum, and usually we on this forum understand each other well enough, even in our disagreements.
