What a speaker is worth is dependent on the person. This changes over time with exposure and training. Once you start attempting to identify differences in tone, dynamics, space your training your self and become more critical of what you’ll except in a system. I think at one time we were all happy listening to music from the 2” speaker in our clock radios.

BTW this applies to more then sound ... video, wine, food .... the more you experience and start to analyze (if you know it or not) the more critical you become in that area
