Willl you spend over $5000.00 for speakers?

In my dreams! With a wife, 3 kids, and a healthy guilt complex about indulging myself, I have a hard time supersizing my quarter pounder meal! I've never even bought a set of speakers! Have always made my own-(Remember Mcgee Electronics? I was a big customer). Results have been mixed-have yet to build a set I couldn't find fault with. My midlife crisis is just around the corner though and I've actually been auditioning speakers that weren't built in the garage. I've been asking myself daily "Will you actually spend 500.00 for speakers?" If I go stark raving mad and actually go for some serious high end stuff, where would be a good place to look in the detroit area?

Yes,why not anything more is a waste, two best speakers for 5K are....Audio Physics Virgo and ProAc 2.5....... and this should give you your AUDIO NIRVANA........ PS. ProAc prefer tube stuff so stick with that..hint,hint HAPPY LISTENING

Oh yes! And if I ever had the means ($) of doing so, I would head straight for my nearest pro-audio dealer, and order myself a pair of EAW front house stacks, and a stack of SB1000's (EAW 18" floor subs). EAW is absolutely the highest quality best sounding speaker in the market, consider going and listening to some...you will be impressed!

Spend $5000 and get yourself a good pair of used speakers and you'll be fat better off than buying a new pair. That way you can have a $15,000 pair for $5000.

dont want to start a fight ........ Paradigm anyone?
