Paying big money for small speakers

[Bret L]

It's like expecting a Mini sized car with the quality of a Rolls
Royce. There is generally no overwhelming reason to sink a lot of
money in to a small speaker, and the differences in sound between
fairly modest small speakers like the ones Audio Advisor is always
selling or the Madisound kits, if you don't mind finishing the cab and
assembly (easy), and some very expensive ones is trivial compared to
the variance you get with big speakers.

Case in point are the Klipsches. There is no shortage of La Scalas
and K-horns used at reasobable prices if you are willing to go get
them. You might find a set of La Scalas from the seventies for six or
seven hindred dollars. Now you might build up a set with new midrange
horn, new tweeter and a crossover and spend say, $1500 to $2000 but
there the difference is immense. The latter are a radically superior
speaker whereas the former are mediocre except in the upper and
midbasss.

One company sells a speaker a little bigger than a bookshelf for ten
thousand a set. This proves that Barnum was very right.

No, I acknowledge the laws of physics.

There is no replacement for displacement.
