Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers?

Hello, just curious on this subject. I have seen threads where folks ask for advice on how to allocate their budget and this topic comes up. I also see systems posted on various forums where folks have $10K-$20K in gear driving $2K-$5K in speakers and wonder why. I have traditionally been a speakers first person as that is where I have noticed the greatest differences. For those that allocate more on gear vs speakers what are your reasons? No judgement, I am just interested in hearing another point of view.

here is some perspective 40 years professional experience

 

speakers determine the overall level of what you can  acchieve

 

the electronics and source will derive what the speakers are capable of

 

great speakers can not compensate for difficiencies elsewhere

 

long story short the electronics preserve the integrity of the signal the better you feed the speakers the better the sound from those loudspeakers
