New speakers or new car?

I'm the opposite, I bought a used car for around $40k including the 5 yr warranty because it is a tech filled BMW 650i convertible. Flew down to Tampa, FL after the 2024 Hurricane, spent a week coming back along the ocean just after peak season.

I would never spend that much, or near that much on speakers. I'm so lucky my Uncle spent darn good money in 1958. He was a bachelor with a Trust Fund.

  $3,000.

• BBC LS3/5A: Small, iconic monitors that are highly collectible and valued for their, as stated on Headphonesty, sound quality.

• Pioneer HPM-100: Created to compete with JBL, these 1970s speakers are in high demand and have appreciated significantly, similar to the JBLs.
• Yamaha NS-1000M: Known for their beryllium drivers, these hold high value. 
   

Lest we forget, someone has to buy a speaker or a vehicle new before it ends up being a used item for sale.

At this point, I have more invested in my audio rig than my car.  I use the audio every day.  The car gets used a couple of times a month.

Innercity crime, dangerous public transportation, criticisms of public housing as socialism, ridiculing social workers, and paranoia about "them" taking away your music?

Wow. That's a lot of hostility to pack into a hobby about speakers. 

Perhaps take a break from saturating in propaganda or maybe talk to your doctor to find out if lorazepam is right for you.
