| high end speakers are overpriced Some recent topics from OP. If you go look at them, the details don't vary much. @hilde45 What you need to understand is that if you look at the entire speaker industry and the topics you get on this forum, there is no variation there either!I... | |
| high end speakers are overpriced You seem to think that profit is a dirty word. There is often a large amount of work, R&D, startup costs and risk to bring a product to market. The reward is profit if it succeeds. The risk is financial loss or even catastrophe.That is true of... | |
| high end speakers are overpriced There is no "crime" involved if it is a transaction between consenting parties. yes but why consent to being swindled? you are complicit if you turn a blind eye and encourage this activity. It will not stop unless we all boycott them | |
| high end speakers are overpriced Kenjit, what can a builder use to determine what "Fair" is? Can he pay his employees an above minimum wage, provide some medical insurance, and maybe a small retirement fund?There are plenty of manufacturers that pay their employees, pay rent, b... | |
| Best amp for B&W805D3? its nothing to do with the amps. its the tweeters. you will need to remove the crossover and retune them. They have too much highs. | |
| high end speakers are overpriced High end speakers are priced far higher than they cost to make. This is greediness. Many audiophiles are being told lies about how much skill and effort goes into making a high end speaker as a false excuse to justify their unreasonable prices. Ma... | |
| high end speakers are overpriced @millercarbon I am not claiming that my speakers are superior to yours. If you want custom tuned speakers normally that requires payment upfront. I dont have any speakers to ship to you. All I am saying is that we are being taken for a ride. We ar... | |

| high end speakers are overpriced The profit you make from a product has to be fair. If you make substantially more profit than that, it is called overcharging. For example, imagine you have a blown tire and the mechanic asks for one billion dollars to replace it. This is what you... | |
| high end speakers are overpriced what do you want to know? | |
| The survival of the fittest. Bose are successful because they are tuned to satisfy the vast majority of the public, mostly non audiophiles. Tekton is not very good as they use too many tweeters. Every speaker is tuned differently hence there are many companies out there becau... | |
| The survival of the fittest. It's all marketing obviously. What else is there? There are no measurements to prove performance so it's all just word of mouth and reviews. Do not buy high end speakers. | |
| sharp and piercing high pitch /frequency coming out from Harbeth C7 Sometimes the original master is done using microphones that have their own frequency response anomalies, or the engineer messes with the frequency response -- perhaps because the studio monitors had a dip where your speakers do not -- or due ... | |

| What are your experiences with upgrading power cords on KEF LS50 wireless? I sat in an hour long demo where they started with entry level cables and interconnects and eventually went up to $40K worth of Nordost. Zero difference in sound. you are not suggesting that cables are a scam are you? |
