i was talking to my physics friend...what exactly does make 8" speaker "A" better than 8" speaker "B"?
once again, materials/time/design (adhering to tight specs)...it costs more money.blah,blah,blah...
in monitor land, i don't really pay much attention to "they sounded like puke" from others, i read it being a gearhead but it doesn't mean much to my decision.
but the "my amp blew out, or the tweeters started crackling after 45 days, or i didn't recieve them in the mail for 4 months.." threads play a big role in my tiny money spending.
comparing $1200 speakers to $300 speakers, i would hope they do sound alot better?
thats the whole point...ROI...return on investment.
is there really $600-800 difference? in my room??
thats why i called my physics-brain buddy, reassurance, unbiased second opinion, he's a brain that can have a beer and talk in lamens terms ... as i defended the "materials" debate for the cheaper stuff...and "can you really hear it?" or is it just self indulgence because someone has money...a Lexus or a Toyota line?
He started changing the subject from speakers to the room acoustics....they go hand in hand.
You may have to invest in the room to enjoy the benefits of the higher end sht at some point. I could agree with this concept.
I can dig it, In a drywall bedroom with a noisy upstairs neighbor and a big window next to your surf board and mixing equipment it probably doesn't justify $3,000 speakers.....
in a tuned, trapped, diffused room....thats where you put the NS10's?
my brain hurts.
