Which is better, a fussy speaker or a versatile one?


When rating speakers into the high and ultra-high-end (or ultra expensive?) what do you think makes a speaker better?

Take two speaker models, for about $400,000 a pair, and 800 lbs.  One requires an excellent room, super quiet amps while the other sounds great in a number of different acoustic environments and can be powered by modest amplification, and speaker cables don't seem to matter.

Which is truly the better speaker, and which would you rather live with?

@panzrwagn got down with the issue with the analogy...

You can have the 'high maintenance' version that looks 10 but potentially will drive you insane on various levels....😜😖😣🤢...0>100>0 in as many milliseconds...

Or opt for 'versatile'....that which may not be 'perfect', but works well in a variety of 'situations' over the long haul...

...and since the universe we find ourselves in runs the gamut of ecstasy to unbridled terror in its' own fashion, I think I'll hold the hand I've been dealt.

There's enough surprises and ennui enough for this dolt to deal with, thanx....;)
