| Advice on how to liquidate system I like the idea of finding a friend or relative you trust, to lend them your gear. You would not have to see it every day and someone else would enjoy it. If things change, and you want to give it a try, you can still take your gear back. | |
| What's your picks @dz13 thank you, I have been collating a list of speaker brands, and speakers, that I plan to post shortly. Unfortunately I only have seen and heard a fraction of them | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? yes, I know there is no cure. My next speakers will be the ones I will upgrade from. It sure will determine the direction. And I also noticed that size matters. | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? @w123ale @thyname Understood. It's fun. It's just that there are 70+ hifi speaker companies to choose from, price narrows it down to about 40, looks to another 20 and then I have to find a way to filter it further as to which ones I listen to. | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @kokakolia Surprisingly Sonus Faber pricing favors the mid-range, the more you pay the exponentially more value you get. There are two strategies: make the profit on the lower end vs the top end. Of course, with the sound, everyone's priorities... | |
| There's No Question Tekton may be the best bang for the buck, by far. Their pricing is very aggressive. Comparable speakers cost at least twice as much. The looks are a big issue to put it lightly. I would say: the #1 speakers in a dark room. :) | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? @kokakolia The Castles look like great value! Where do you find these deals? | |
| Are Buchardt A500 Signature Edition A Good Choice For First Speakers? You can buy better sound for less. E.g. the passive Buchardts with an amp. If you want an active speaker and your budget is 5K, Dynaudio Focus is better value, more sold, tested and reviewed. | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? right, pretty cool story, checks out all the boxes. | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? yes, pretty smart! | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? @nonoise re Daniel Emonts pretty cool! per his linked page. He designed the Evoke, Special 40, Heritage, Contour lines, pretty much what carried Dynaudio in the last 5 years. | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? @nonoise re: the design considerations of the designer his philosophy behind the build and components these are tough, I am not sure how much you can find out online. So many speaker web sites and information are so lame | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? my version is much shorter: my wife hates them all! If we had an upstairs, that's where she would stash me along with all the gear. | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? the first time the looks are mentioned @willkimbrough ! My #1 priority, maybe superficially | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @kokakolia I have been looking at prices for 3 weeks now, 100s of speakers (243 and counting), and I don’t see it. Sure there are outliers but for the most part, these companies’ managers aren’t driving Teslas. There is great value at 3K and even ... |
