Post Subject: I think there's this around $10,000 high-end "standard" for speakersPosted by SearcherOfBetterSound on: 5/5/2007
Personally, speculatively. It's my belief that one or one maker *shouldn't* have to wander too far past this range for practicality and morality...I can understand if some goodness can't be value developed easily (even then, there could be problems from too much concentration on non-value), but this is the general feeling for great acceptability. I'm not saying that it won't get better, in whatever price point after it or before it, but this price seems like a good general reference point for the most dedicated people. Aren't Romy's horns around this price too?
So far for around $10,000, there might be some fun to be had around for some stuff. Maybe this is too much for a lot of people, not enough value..but for "all-out" stuff, high-end "value" is my intended meaning. Most things in higher price ranges look too "industry-ish" if you ask me. Will all of the higher-priced stuff be bad? Probably not...but what, is like Cessaro and Cogent the only really interesting high-price guys or what? This is the feeling or at least atmosphere I get now...
Well, another interesting maker is Acuhorn. They also seem to have a pretty good new model around now that looks worth checking out.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
