Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference?

The $50k speakers will melt your dennon receiver.

Take your $1500 speakers and swap the $25 tweeter with a $500 Be or AMT and suddenly you hear a major disconnect so then you gotta upgrade the midrange and xover to retain the coherence and on it goes until you’re listening to diamond drivers in a cast marble inclosure that for all their mass completely disappear when playing. Ducati or honda?

The fun is in the hunt more than the kill. I find I'm not so crazy about the new music coming out and changing up parts of my system keeps the replays fun, but getting to the top will leave me exactly where I am...The same set list on the same system!!

The BIG Wilson room at Axpona is thrilling to listen to, but if I listened to it every day it would sound the same after awhile.
