high end speakers are overpriced
An mdf box with drivers with an acceptable finish can cost as little as a few hundred bucks. elac debut 2 and B&w 607 and dali spektor 2 Q Acoustics 3030i are all a few hundred bucks.
If you replaced the drivers with scanspeak illuminators and added an extra piece or two of mdf for more bracing it would cost only several hundred bucks at most. So the total cost would still only be $1k for state of the art speakers.
However you find these same drivers in bookshelf speakers costing between 5k to 10k, perhaps even more.
As you can see, it is perfectly possible to produce state of art speakers for well under $1k. It is greed that excludes many audiophiles from enjoying the beautiful sound quality of these higher quality speakers.
In conclusion, do not buy high end audio again. Just save youre money and make your own, just like Mr Erik squire and others have done.
