How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all??


I was just looking at Stereophile's  recommended components, for speakers. 
Within the Class A restricted extreme low frequencies category are:
KEF LS50 at $1500  and
Wilson Sasha at $38,000.
Why would you pay 38 grand when you can get the same category for 1500?  Why I say?

Even worse!!!
In the full range Class B category we have the KEF Ref. 5 at $20,000.
Why would you wanna pay $20,000 for a speaker that is outclassed by the same family (KEF LS50) at a fraction of the price?
How does this make any sense????
Stereophile, seriously.  Let 'er rip homie.

Dear oh dear,
@kenjit , you have proven that you have no knowledge about to compare real audiophile or higher or lower speakers.
You state that $250k speakers or $50k or $5k speakers are relatively equivalent in terms of quality, sound and the ability for you to bag everything in between.
I am fortunately one who owns the stated high end speakers and I find nothing wrong with these compared to my past owned High-mid, speakers, mid range, and lower range.
I find your claims regarding your speaker claims tiresome and intellectually miserable.
I have read your pitiful posts regarding speakers, a small selection, apparently all badly tuned for the user. I really would suggest that once the CONV19 pandemic has died, you go for a sabbatical for 12 months, and treat yourself to a trip listening to the best, medium, and small speakers, selected by a small knit knowledgeable audiophiles that can explain the nuances of speaker engineering, philosophies, audio engineers, cabinet engineers, audio technicians (different to engineers), production engineers, musicians, signal engineers being able to reliably convert music signals (analog - dig - analog) where required and accurately.

There are a core team of 12 developing the Kyron speaker systems I own (the Gaia). From professional classical musicians to the best musicians putting 1000’s of
hours ensuring that the best music is
played and reproduced via the engineered system. As an engineer myself (admittedly off field) I appreciated the work and design that goes into each pair (Gaia’s (6pr/yr)

@Kenjit, you really need to see the world that engineers see as speakers. Understand the process, the science, the engineering and the audio science/engineering, before you return to this forum criticising all before you add nothing to constructively to the conversation.
Go and learn something solid and then teach us what you have learnt.

One person taught me the principles of
speakers, John Dunlavy (Texas, USA) when he was “trading out of Fyshwick, ACT, Australia. A brilliant designer that you will have hated 😡.

Get our of your hole and learn something outside of you small head.
