| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? the average (audiophile) low end is $400 and the high end is 60K, based on ~70 brands. There are less than a few well known brands who make speakers for over a 100K. I would call them luxury priced, not overpriced I think overpricing is more c... | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? @mbmi There is a fair amount of truth to your approach. It's all about what makes up the speaker's price. E.g. if it's a luxury brand and the speakers are all delivered and setup by a technician with a degree from MIT, there will be a cost to t... | |

| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? @kokakolia nice teaser. WHAT IS IT????????!!!!!! :) btw I only heard and tried Klipsch towers and they all sounded dead to me | |
| Sonus Faber Grand Piano or Totem Forrest? The Grand Piano was released over 25 years ago. How old are the ones you are looking at? I saw a few Grand Pianos in the past and was never too impressed whereas I fell in love with every Totem I have heard. I would read the stereophile reviews ... | |
| Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future? Also, it's like buying a car. You are not putting the thing through an X-ray before you to assess if it was properly taken care of, so you assess the condition based on a lot of little things. Preserving the box is one of those and as said before,... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? The title of this post is so stupid, lame, embarrassing I wonder why anyone would comment on it. And yet I just did too. | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? @audioguy85 yeah, you sound like you have the right amount of audio gear with a storage problem... Or :) When you read reviews, who do you trust? Almost every review is positive. I used to be able to read car reviews and tell which way is up, but... |
