| high end speakers are overpriced @kenjit re High end speakers are priced far higher than they cost to make. This is greediness. 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 ... | |
| Larsen speakers ... anyone here heard or owned them? Interesting, but in my experience all really good speakers and front ends are dependent on good source material. Highly revealing front ends and speakers reveal all the defects in bad recordings. | |

The Larsen 9 is really gorgeous ... I’d put them in any living room. I was told by the distributor tha... | |
| The survival of the fittest. @kenjit Are you just a troll? This is absurd. 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. | |
