Current speaker threads are boring

Inna,
I’ll make the assumption that your ire is in regard to the ongoing  Tekton Double Impact thread. It so do you label this speaker "midlevel" based on its cost or sound quality? Just genuinely curious as to how you reached this conclusion. 
Thanks,
Charles

Hi Inna,
Could you define a "great speaker" ?
Is price or performance the qualifying criteria?
I agree with the idea that envy/jealousy are factors for "some" who are leery or dismissive of the more expensive range of audio products.

It can be pointed out on the other hand that there exists a snob appeal that has more to do with exclusivity and status obtained rather than genuine performance superiority. It seems to me that there are emotional and psychological aspects that play a role in perception of High End Audio besides purely objective parameters.

No surprise really when you you consider that we’re referring to the behavior and beliefs of human beings. There’re always multiple variables that will inevitably form a and shape ones perception concerning establishing a hierarchy or rating system.

I do believe that as listeners gain experience and exposure over a period of time they do develop a keener sense of value versus actual sonic performance/sound quality. As Wolf Garcia noted with increased experience it is quite possible to find excellent sounding products that are reasonably affordable and not out of reach. IMO price/performance isn't always a linear relationship. 

I think this is good news if one’s objective is to achieve high quality music reproduction in their home audio system. Inna I do feel that Whatsbestforum is a site that you’d likely enjoy given your initial post.
