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. |
