| Why Do Cables Matter? To each is own, if you have a 100k system, you'll buy a $10k cable, if you have a 200k system, you'll buy a $50k cable. I've aways stuck by 10awg copper cables and they have sound no different than others. Open any amp or speaker and tell me what... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? Never understood where the midfi term came from? But to answer, if your speakers are above $100,000 for the audio gurus. From the midfi champ. | |
| I’m visiting Japan. Was in Japan bedore, you'll see Luxman goodies for cheap. They are marked up 30-40% in the US market. | |
| Why are speaker stands so expensive?! @phylophyl , exactly. +1 and agree. | |
| Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component? What your wallet can afford. Or 10% of your salary will be the disposable income. | |

| Picking Speakers 20k-30k If I had to choose B&W 801 D4 Walnut finish. The design and look does it for me. If not those, 2nd option is JBL K2 S9900. | |
| I can't go for that. Hall & Oates my favorite band all time. So many hits and so enjoyable to listen to. Guaranteed to be played at any of my BBQ, 4th of July is coming. | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. @cd318 . I buy what ever the wallet fits and agree with you. The world is globally sourced with so many MFG. Consumers are well educated today and know a good buy when they see one along with using the judgement of diminishing returns. | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. @cd318 , Some things can be judge by price, but for luxury goods like audio equipment. I think its highly overrated/marked up in price as these equipment just play music. How much better each amplifier, DAC, speaker, cables are? It will be up... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated I barely heard a difference if any from.the Luxman L590 AXII vs M900u & C900u. Im sure there people convince themselves due to the price difference, its a pchyological thing. Like a pre amp, heard a 10k vs a 1k one and I heard zero difference... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. Economies of scale. If it was made in the UK or US. $25K | |
| Experience with Luxman L-550 AXII I have the 590AXII, its not a warm amp. Its a neutral amp that matches well with easy to drive speakers. The amp is very refined and detail, I've alwasy found Klipsch speakers to sound a little bright due to the horn tweeter. You cannot compare a... | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? @grislybutter , like anything in life. Its the price point that make people wonder. < 500, no one cares >2500, people are reading reviews and studying for the SAT >5000, they need to ask their wives for permission >10K, buyers rem... | |
