Speakers Don’t Matter As Much As We Think They Do?

In a sence the A
loudspeaker quality is very important,for by far the Loudspeaker 
has much more THD % then any other part of your audio system 
by a large margin  at least 3-5% under excursions ,
this is why I Always rebuild the Xover with reference quality parts 
it gives the drivers much more precision and accuracy , if not 
it will cost you well over $10k+ just to get top quality throughout.
having sold Audio for over 30  years many well  know companies 
go cheap inside the speaker.

Magus what do you have for speakers and sub ?
that is important to know ,and have you ever upgraded the Xover?
that for sure will give you better resolution and imaging  for that is where most companies skimp on , unless spending a lot.

I don’t agree with some comments thinkng vacuum tube is not the equal to SS
or hype, in many cases if good quality Vacuum tube can surpasses solid state in several areas 
sonic realism is one,  depth of image and soundstage width and depth 
as well as fullness of midBass. Solid state cost much more money to give you the realism ,i owned a Audio store for years system synergy 
is what is most important ,Having vacuum tubes such as a Respectable Vacuum tube preamp to go with a Solid stste amp is a classic mix and adds to the above 
reference.  Also wires you can get to the point of diminishing returns 
if your system is resolved enough spending $500-$1k on interconnects is not much . Myself  bought top wiring good Litz Teflon -0 Crystal pure Copper from VH Audio and saved $$$ 
and installing Copper connections throughout my system ,night and day better sounding then gold plated Brass which is what most midfi systems come with.
everything in the Audio chain has a sonic effect . The front end is also key
spending more on digital or vinyl or both for this is where your signal begins ,
you cannot make  up detail down stream . This why it counts  .i have put together systems in the $100k+ range for the few that can afford it and they are incredibly 
good,and for sure noticable better. That being said for 1/3rd that  money you can put together a very respectable system for under $30 k that is 90% as good .
low Bass you have companies like SVS  3000 dB, for $1grand world class Bass.buy 2 subs if,when you can it balances out the Bass in the room.
for digital there are a bunch under $1500 including vacuum tube that are 
pretty respectable.. one reason I mod my own speakers ,and have my electronics modded or upgraded is for adding say $1k in parts can bring you something 
thst sounds 3-4x more expensive if done right , That is money spent wisely .
i learned  from some of the best techs in the industry  in electronics as well as speakers it is all made to a price point .Did you know that less then 25% of the cost actually goes into the equipment, the other parts are in overhead ,R&D 
and  dealer markup.if buying direct sometimes can get better value ,keep this in mind that is why sometimes buying very good used then modding makes a lot of sense ,if you are handy and can solder or willing to learn
buy quality connectors and wiring and build cables  your self including power cords VH Audio  For example has a bunch of recipes to help the DIY community,Everything counts.
