Myself being an Audiophile for 40+ years ,and owning a Audio store for a decade.
I know build quality. And shortcuts taken in both speakers ,as well as electronics.
many Audiophile ,or most Donot know about say the many shortcuts - being cheap
in the Internal Xover , in electronics many have pretty cases and average at best build quality, and living on its laurels of the past .and trust me there are many ,
and many $$ paid for play reviews . I have been to many audio shows and horror
stories from quality small companies who could not say pay$50k in adverts to get glorious reviews ,sadly many went out of business. The politics has been a open wound for a long time. Markup many times is Waay over in electronics some charging up to 10 x what it cost them in parts , yes R&D counts , cables some 20x markup. This is why many people get pissed off because of a lot of Greed.
20 years ago many companies were owned by True audiophiles , not corporations,
which I won’t mention any names. Sad but true , people do your home work ,ask questions ,and inspect the parts ,brand name do count then say OEM brand which is a cop out for lower quality, This is my sole opinion and viewpoints
be a wise 🦉 owl and seek out Best Buy for your $$ spend, and System synergies
is most important , Happy listening music 🎶 🎼 🎵.
