Revel F228be
I don't know much about the 7-8K range 9 (used). A lot of incredible speakers under 5K. Revel is a great value, high quality low-ish price but far from the most musical.  
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods?
@8th-note what is a "household worth a million"? The house is worth a million? With the mortgage paid off? Or they have 1 million in assets? Liquid assets? Otherwise it’s worth ZERO as far as disposable income - they can’t buy speakers from their ... 
Why a dearth of some brands on the used market?
great post @bluethinker  I run a lot of searches and have a pretty good idea.  I know what's hard to find that I looked for, and I also looked at each company's revenue to be able to weight things.   I didn't do a spreadsheet so these are my im... 
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods?
and btw I wonder if the Lamborghini comparison is appropriate for most audio products. Lamborghini - whoever owns it - does not claim that their car is x times better than other cars. It's VW plastic in large part. But you can drive it to the mall... 
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods?
I would comment but it would get removed - as before making fun of the wealthy and their justification of why they *need* and *deserve* to buy x and y.   Reading this forum is an amazing social experiment about how delusional rich people are. ...

what mics? You mean there are speakers? It's not pure acoustic?  
Admitting my error…

@bluethinker66 great to hear it, I told you to ditch the Hungarian :) Looking forward to the photo!  
Admitting my error…
Top 100 best selling LPs ever.    Buy them all!   Yes, but is there one person who likes all 100 of them?     
Speaker upgrade for Primaluna EVO 300 - Looking to find some audio nirvana bliss!
I would stay away from the Lintons, for my bad personal experience and advice from Upscaleadio

@hilde45 I agree, the lines are fuzzy. What's advice to one person may be insult to another.  
Accurate and revealing subwoofer
my favorite (dream) subs are Monitor Audio and KEF. I would find it really challenging to add subs to floorstanders (mostly because I am ignorant but curious)  
Sat front row at the symphony...
I thought of the movies when I read this post. Of course the screen in your face is a very different story than the acoustics.   And now I read 3 articles about what’s the best seat at Heinz Hall! (How useful) Thanks everyone :) Back to work...  
Sat front row at the symphony...
@hilde45 there is a way to be critical and constructive not condescending. Many of these comments however have the "I have the tickets to the best seats, let me lecture you how wrong you are" vibe. Of course you can't prove intent so you can alway...
