Value is relative to what you want, need and can afford. I do not think 85k is a good value because I can not afford the price no matter how good they sound. I strongly suspect I will never be able to afford that price. I might be able to squeeze a 10k purchase one day soon, but I tend to think I will not do it. I could buy a lot of albums and CDs over many years instead and be happier. My current speakers retail for about $4400 new.
Dynaudio Speakers
I was just reading the Stereophile review of the Dynaudio Confidence speaker for $16,000 and the article mentions the top of the line $85,000 speaker. Thinking about this, my sister-in-law had a hand made dining room set made, table, hutch and 10 chairs with special woods and craftmanship and that cost just under $50K. So am I to believe that these speakers are worth the price? Wood, drivers, parts, desgin more expensive that a hand carved table and chairs with speical wood? Wake me up here!
