Why buy cheap speakers??


I look at some of the systems on this site they have only the best electronics and sub standard speakers? I was taught to spend 1/3 to 1/2 on speakers and the rest on the entire system. I see $500.00 speakers with $3000.00 transports or turntables. That is such a waist of money. Speakers are the most important part of a system or so I was taught. Am I wrong? Help me out here.Why put $300.00 cables on $300.00speakers makes no sence what so ever.

Yep, either it works together and sounds good or not. There are no cost ratio rules worth banking on.
"as my system improved my attention would be drawn by the increased realism to what was right about the recordings, not to what was wrong."

Me too.
