The new dynamic in speaker pricing

 @ghdprentice 

Strange reply for someone who is usually well spoken. I can only guess you felt like this  implied to you. Of course, no one is stupid or ignorant for buying such speakers, but few go the extra mile to get the most out of them like Mike LaVigne by example. Love the commitment he made to his listening barn. Had fun learning from his design. The ones who don't care about room acoustics just don't get to enjoy their equipment to their full potential is all I was getting at. Sorry it upset you.

Put any of these upper six figures speakers in an average room and my bet is my $18,000 speakers in the house of stereo will make them sound silly. Meaning you would be better off spending low six figures in building a proper listening room first before spending your money on top level speakers. If you can do both, good for you.

So there is a thin line between moron and maniac LOL.

Anyone can spend money how they wish, it is their perogative. I guess my point was pretty much missed across the board. It seems to me a majority of those willing to spend high 6 figures for speakers end up spending about one percent of that on their listening room/acoustic treatment, if even that much. And to me that makes zero sense. If any of you are one of those lucky enough to have been spending high six figures on speakers and 5 % of that on your room acoustics, I apologize.

Still missing my point. Oh well, I tried.
