Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

You make an interesting statement...

...about the value of mid-fi gear, and gear at any price range really.

"In other words, you would have to spend more than three times as much to do better."

Yes, for $150 the Pioneer sub probably has unquestionable *value* considering what it does, and to get something demonstratively better, you would most likely need to spend $450, or three times as much.

I was thinking even a kit from a place like Part Express, which can be had in the $500 range.

(I was simply assuming his 2-channel system warranted a better sub that one for $150 could offer.)

In any case, the law of diminishing returns always applies, but with subs I don't think one hits that range until you get into the $2K range. After that, the sky is the limit.

Cheers,
Presto
