OK Micah, I agree with everything every one here has said.

I suggest you learn about the law of diminishing returns. This is the number one rule of audio. Up to a point, once you start doubling the cost you don’t necessarily double the sound quality. In fact you will find that even tripling or quadrupling a price will only yield minimal improvements in sound quality. Granted there are exceptions to every rule, to say that a $10,000 speaker puts a $5000 or even $2000 speaker to shame is far from audio gospel. Again each to their own and this is very subjective.

I look at it this way. The Corvette at over 90 grand is a sweet ride, but you can get a GT Cobra Mustang for less than half the price, It’s not a Vette, but hell, it’s a really fun car to drive and I’d love one in my driveway.
