Speaker Asylum General speaker questions for audio and home theater. |
|
I recently read a review of a budget speaker costing about $400. The reviewer said it was so good it sounded like speakers double the price. This is an expression I have seen reviewers use a lot. I compared this 400 speaker to the sound of a B&W 685. No comparison, I must say. The B&W is so far better. Well, there may be speakers costing 800 which may not be as good as the B&W but the generalisation by the reviewer is unwarranted I feel.
Perhaps some very low priced speaker like the $100 Pioneer sound like $200 speakers but I doubt a 2k speaker will sound as good as a $4k speaker, nor a 25k like a 50k.
Cheers
Bill
