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.

how do you not even get the title right? Like just to put the words in the right order so that it resembles English? Or with bad grammar but making some sense. Or am I missing something, this is how audiophiles talk? (I am not one)

 

@curtdr It's ironic that I thought your sentences were confusing and with bad grammar but I am not an English professor and I am ESL as well so I wouldn't know.

I pasted my rambling into Word 365 and it corrected nothing. So besides the Lintons we disagree on this too.  

I am glad we agree on the rest.

I know what I wrote was fragmented, thank you, regardless.

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.

@musicaddict I think there are different speaker price points where value peaks and from where you'd have to make a big jump to increase SQ along with component upgrades. From what I read here, you can have the big boys (Sonus, Dyna, Joseph, Harbeth, etc), used around 12K - when people here want to make the jump and sell their used speakers - at 40-50% discount. I have no idea about the next peak, that's out in space from where I sit. (well 10K is out in the stratosphere too but it's fun to watch)

 

@curtdr I agree with you on "no need to be hostile". 

I am on the fence about "comprehensible enough, as is the OP's." I am very confused about the title in several ways and it's probably just me. 

And I explained myself back and forth, what bugs me, no need to repeat myself.

 

 

The idea that you have to spend $15k to possibly get good sound

exactly. Good sound starts around 60K
