Without including wires (SCs, ICs, PCs), room treatments, tweaks, or upgraded tubes, my speakers were 42% of my main gear pieces (CD player, preamp, pair of monoblock amps, two subs) when considering full retail costs.
cost of speakers in relation to the rest of the system
I don't intend this to be a "How much should I spend for speakers" question. Seems a number of folks generally recommend a third to two-thirds. My question is, generally for discussion, whether folks found happiness and "success" in spending significantly less than that. Or--by price, are you happy with speakers that might be considered by some folks outclassed by your other equipment and don't think the speakers are the "weak link?"
As a "favorite" professor might have said too often, "Discuss."
I would think there would be a number of Maggie MMG/1.7 folks, Tekton DI folks, probably some Omega folks, some vintage speaker folks.... others?
