Yes, there are many audio products that can be considered reasonably priced. If the money is available, the room large enough, and a proper amp used to drive them ( proper room set up as a given ), I do think the MBLs are a reasonably priced pair ... 
bose 801 speakers
A pair of 901s, set up properly ( hung from the ceiling ), with a solid and smooth back wall, with excellent gear feeding them ( such as the Mac the OP uses, and good interconnects to and from the EQ ), will surprise many listeners. Their presenta...

@lgoler  My buddy who imported the Jadis equipment, owned the top model MBLs, and they were fantastic. I played, both on vinyl and cd, the song Europa, by Carlos Santana, and, I cried, it was so emotionally " you are there " engaging. He drove the...

@aalenik.....further states my thought on the subject. A buddy's daughter received a raise at her job. Not a 6 figure job, believe me. She goes out and spends $ 3K on a designer handbag, because " she had to have it ". Its her money. She is paying...

Another fine speaker of my past that I do not see for sale, ever, the  Sonus Faber Extrema / matching stands. Required a large muscle amp to get them going.

@kahlenz....you worded it better than I did, stating that it would be unfair to the manufacturers and distributors, and this was the reason why I found the OP’s question initially ridiculous. On the other hand, I do understand the OP for wanting t... 
How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp?
kosst, believe me when I say I am not going ape. As I said, I find your argumentative nature annoying, but amusing, and actually look forward to your next " outburst ". I cannot speak for George.  Enjoy ! MrD.

How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp?
@georgehifi , kosst claims his system sounds almost the same, with and without the preamp section of his ancient Marantz receiver, when he experimented with the bypassing of the Marantz. This should tell you something about him. Let him be, let hi...
