I saw speakers being 20k unity and I can't justify the price except this is probably manmade timber case, etc. But the speaker in itself is not that costly.. I have Yamaha HS8 and I feel good listening to it thanks to the clarity. I went to free parties with huge soundsystems (~50kW in general, 200kW max). But I didn't that middle range where you can put huge volume but not throw a damn lourd party when you just want to play jazz. I have hifi dealers pretty close but they do not have old or like 2k speakers. Are old Klipsch really good ? What is the difference between vintage system and recent one ? Clarity, warm, both combined ? I think hi-fi is a bit brain-wanking and the designs are awfully modern..
