Just because a speaker has a high price tag, does not mean it will sound better. I heard a pair of 50k speakers. Ran off the top of the line parasound mono blocks a top of the line srteamer, DAC. I hate to guess the package cost. I liked my cheapo system by far. I have El Cheapo DYI speakers and have heard much cheaper systems that were awesome with 5k speakers on much lesser electronics. Possibly component matching mattered? Also music taste and ears are so different.
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.
