I Have 100K for Speakers?


I saw a post today that caught my eye. New to the hobby and is looking t0 spend 50-100k for speakers. At that point is how far are we into "return on investment". There has to be a point where the $$ spent has no relation to the sound you get. I'm just questioning the point as to when does this get kind of silly..No?

Even if I wanted to spend 30k AND had wifes approval I don't think my ears could tell differences enough to be cost effective..
I'm suggesting that yr ears will tell an appreciable difference up to around that price level.

The answer to the question, "which" 100k speakers is easy, and given above ("frites")
pay a talented designer to come over, look at the room, and then build (speakers) to order.
I would think the 15-20k range would be the limit;but I have never heard a 20k pair of speakers; sure would be fun to listen though.
I would like to hear the big soundlabs that Dr.West has out now; I have m2's and think they are excellant.
if you spend 50k on speakers, you can spend the other 50k on a truckload of house cats. all things in moderation.
You can have a lot of money, but you still have to know what you're doing and have some semblance of an ear. Otherwise it's a crap shoot at best. He or she needs to do some research and some listening before plopping down a huge wad of cash. As most of us know, although there's a GENERAL relationship between increasing price and increasing performance, it's neither linear nor predictable, even within the same product line sometimes. It's good to figure that out BEFORE making a six figure investment in audio.
