Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers?

I feel 20-25% of your audio system should go to your Loudspeakers 

having owed a Audio store synergy is key ,and the most distortion by far comes from your speakers roughly 3-5% on average when pushed ,Electronics under 1%

cables to 15-20% of your system budget should go there once gone you can’t make it up ,your front end is where everything starts and stops put in at least 15-20% , a high quality integrated amp in many cases better sound ,and better value 

for the preamp synergy is built in with-the amplifier , less power cords, and interconnects  an easy savings of-over $1 k for anything decent .

i am referring to a integrated say a minimum of$6 k on up and look closely to the volume pot a silver round Alps can like on prima luna for-example run it’s a cheap $25 carbon plastic conductive pot you loose a ton of low level detail,

agood resistive ladder ,electronic,or relays far better . Separates can be better but much more money outlay I separate components plus a good power-cord foreach as well as extra pair of interconnect's.

Source first. You can't retrieve what you've lost no matter what speaker you use.

it's all about the cables

it’s all about the fuses... 😂

seriously, it really depends... it is all a chain, so it all matters

speakers are the final transducer and different speakers certainly present the greatest variance in how sound is produced to be heard (room interaction a good part of this)

but really high performance speakers sound better and better with a superb source and excellent, well matched amplification, so whatcha gonna do?  

runwell, you have $600 speakers and a $13,000 amp that's quite funny because $600 speakers are not going to be very good from any company sorry he just wasted a ton of money on an amp that your speakers will never do justice too.
