hello folks
why do people go out and spend multiple thousands on Loudspeakers.
when you can build your own for a fraction of the price.
are people lazy, stupid or just have too much money to spend
regards malcolm

Probably the same reason they don't raise their own cattle,
build there own houses, ferment their own wine, and churn
their own butter.

Every year, thousands, even ten's of thousands of people in the US do in
fact perform each of these *death-defying* acts.

That's a fraction of the number of people who buy LPs.

None of them are exactly
rocket science. 100 years ago, even more people did this - a substantial
fraction of the population.

And how many of those people built their own speakers?

Why not now? Convenience. Other things to do.

Now you finally said something relevant. You forgot to add: wide
variety of choice of different designs of loudspeakers and a high
level of quality.
