Somebody in this forum spends their time playing spelling gotcha!
Maybe you could please get me a new iPhone with a compatibly updated spellcheck? I’d appreciate it.
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
two issues here, would it be smarter to buy the used speakers not knowing where they’ve been or how hard they’ve been played or maybe there’s something wrong with them. And the other issue is what happens to the value of my speakers immediately after the box comes to my house. And I guess the third issue is, amI insane for buying $50,000 speakers.
It seems like I’ll be losing $20,000 immediately and of course probably a little more since if I ever sell they will need to be reduced further so used price can be 30,000 if a dealer is involved which they probably will be.
This raises a serious concern that very nice speakers are just too expensive.
Fortunately (and luckily) I’m not married so that makes this process a lot easier

Agreed. I’m here to see what’s going on, but there is a disciplined method to how I go about audio. I decided what my ears prefer at an early age - tube v solid state. I chose the former. When digital came out, after a certain period I decided to stick to analog. When it comes to collecting vinyl, an original press almost always sounds better than a 21st century reissue and even/especially a remaster. I buy second hand and refurbish because that’s the way to get the biggest bang for the buck and the bonus is that it’s also environmentally sound and not buying into wasteful consumerism. I stick to a path and upgrade/add accordingly. Bottom line: the best musical experience at a cheap-rat-bastard price. I have guests say that it sounds better than being there. Good enough for me: spend the excess dough on people less fortunate than I. And a new added bonus is that I get to disgust @roxy54 , 😉 |
Sure they do. Those cable threads are about guys who actually own the cable or are contemplating actually buying some, being challenged by the guys who think expensive cables are nonsense. This threads non reality is he isn’t contemplating buying anything, let alone $50,000 speakers. Just another one of his couple hundred "please pay attention to me" threads. He seems a decent, amiable, harmless fellow. I’ve no idea why he insists on fabricating this nonsense. |
I’m in possession of a curious nature, and read, watch and listen to all manner of ideas and things. EG I subscribe to WaPo, the WSJ, The Guardian, Le Monde, Financial Times, Russian TV, The NY Times, Reason, etc. It is how you learn. I am 70 years old. I am under few illusions about the world and the range of people in it. I will not get to see the changes in behaviors that mankind must make if it is to survive. I do my best to conform to some of those needed behaviors. And I initiated some changes, eg fighting and winning a case at SCOTUS (thank you, Nino Scalia) that changed constitutional law. The rest is for the next generation to do. |
