What type of speaker would sound better?

There is a myth that many people believe. "If it costs more it must be better." 

Because the speaker is $5k doesn't mean it sounds better.

In fact, there are marketing strategies used to trick the puplic by simply raising the price on an item to change the perception and desirability.

Here is a recent video about the marketing of Grey Goose vodka you may find interesting. Highest price for the affluent crowd that thinks they deserve the best. And the vodka wasn't that good! All a very well done marketing scam. A 2 $billion lie.

@kofibaffour  Thanks!  Amazing. Palessi. LOL.  

I look at high end audio speakers that cost as much as a luxury car and I have to ask why?

The car is incredibly more complex to make, has thousands more custom parts. Shipping cost, dealer showrooms. MUCH more technology in a car than any speaker. Not even close!!

Here's a mechanical/ electric device been around for a hundred years placed in a fancy box. Costing as much as a car. Come on man!

You can't build a Mercedes but a speaker is an easy project comparatively.

Plenty of speakers put out plenty of bass for a fraction of that cost.

Higher end speakers have a lot of attention/money go into the cabinet design to make it attractive to the buyer. This expensive appearance doesn’t really do anything to make the speaker sound better.
