Re: Do You Believe The Price Simply Equals The Sum Of The Prices Of The Parts Involved?

Personally, I don't have $19K to buy some loudspeakers, but if they do sound very good, then they are probably worth it. This is because there can be subtle differences in speaker driver design, not apparent from the external appearance that can make big differences in sound quality. The Asians have done a great job in making components that look OK, but are really composed of marginal materials and construction. It is like making a temporary building that looks normal on the outside, but will be relatively uncomfortable in the inside, perhaps drafty, noisy, and eventially will fall apart. External appearances aren't everything.
Now, if you can beat the price of 2 buck Chuck and still beat a superior tasting bottle of wine, I would take you seriously. ;-)
