New speakers or new car?

See, I'm sort of the opposite. I had no qualms about writing a check for my then new truck and yet I wouldn't dream of spending even half that for new speakers.

That may be because I spent most of my adult life in the auto industry (retail parts and service). Then again, I drive less than 4k miles per year and since it's a Toyota, I'm hoping for it to be my last vehicle purchase.

If you’re willing to buy a car and speakers that are five years old you could have both for around $50k instead of just one or the other.  I’d think that’d make it a lot easier to part with that kinda cash. 

@OP The speakers will depreciate more slowly than a car. When you amortise the price of the speakers over their lifespan, they will prove much better value than the car.

Get a electric car with some decent range like a Tesla and put some solar panels on your roof. Don’t contaminate the earth for your electricity and don't fund the energy wars for some stoopidass car's gas.

A speaker? Well. Whatever you speaker you've got at the moment can't be all that bad, eh dude? Treat your room instead. Don’t be afraid of construction. Construction and treatment is like kryptonite for many audiophiles, which is why they have sht sound.
