Being into audio 40 years and owning a Audio store by far the largest injustice to Audiophiles is theLoudspeakers crossover parts , most people don’t realize
on a $10k speaker for example only $2500 goes-into the speakers per pr including
packaging the rest R&D over head and markup
since I have modded every speaker I have owned maggi have a cheap Xover
cement resistors horrible capacitors and inductors , , Klipsch notmuch better
sad but true . I have had help with Maggie todo rights external Xover
Klipsch has more room and Chinese Xover yellow caps and cement resistors
I use top notch path audio resistors , but mills are verygood or several others,many decent Name brand capacitors out there mid quality like. Clarity ,or Mundorf Evo which I see in $20k speakers ,which imo should’ve betteras well as inductors likeJantzen , name brand connectors also but manygo cheapgoldover brass
which is bright, purecopper Cardas, or WBT next gen, or Furutech ,or ETI are far better . Being in the retail business even in electronics the same 💩 crap applies
not all but most the 4-1 ratio $$ cost in build to markup,
with audio cables even more so.
