New speakers or new car?


ever notice it’s easier to spend $50,000 on speakers than $50,000 on a new car? Why is that. Is it because my living room is not big enough for a car?

Seriously, I need a new car. So maybe I need to come to terms with that and somehow find a way for it to be easier to spend a lot of money on a new car. Maybe it’s because a speaker doesn’t come with annual recurring costs like insurance and all the gasoline or electricity you gotta put into it.

Or maybe I just do both.

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.

I hear ya. 

Answer is, it comes down to mass production. It's actually amazing the amount of tech and precision engineering of thousands of parts end up going into a modern car,,, for not alot of money compaired to the amount of parts. But when you pump out millions of them every year, you learn how to streamline and save money.

But yes,,, for the amount of parts and tech that go into modern speakers against what they sell for? I don't get it either!
