Current speaker threads are boring

I think a neutral review of all the flames and attacks on this forum and You'd see they come at equipment of all price points.

I think @erik_squires is onto something. The threads are after all .... us. 

What makes me passionate about hating equipment is when a reviewer loves it and I hear it and go WTH?? That sucks. Not necessarily the price point.

The opposite is also true. When really good gear gets trashed in the press I can be pretty angry about it.

I really have very little interest in listening to folks yammer on about 5 figure speakers. Kinda like I have no interest in listening to people debate the finer points of personal jets. I'm interested in maximizing the quality of what I have and can afford. Beyond that, I don't have much respect for the mediocre opinions of so many people who buy in the upper eschelons. They start buying into crazy stuff like directional fuses and wires and stopping the sound of the planet from disturbing their gear, aka, seismic noise. 

"High end" is mostly about sound quality although many brands are as much about status. If you want the status it’s going to cost you. I have no one to impress so status doesn't matter much to me.
