The value I have found in the sound is in the hearing of the listener. So my $250 Boston Acoustics are great!! Expensive is over rated. To keep on paying is insane since noone can hear it but you.
You yourself can hear it. That and that alone makes it, if not sensible at least reasonable. If you think your $250 Boston Acoustics sound as good as my Acoustats I have to question your hearing. If the differences are not important to you why are you here?
Please understand, I'm not dismissing your speakers even though I have cables that cost more. However, calling those who have and will continue to spend more than you insane is rather rude.
None of us expect or look for "perfect" sound. We do try for better sound. If your inexpensive speakers satisfy your needs so be it. Just remember there are those of us who think it insane to listen on such inadequate speakers.
Try listening to a properly set up "megabuck" system before you "dis" the rest of us. If you don't think a system like that sounds better you have no business here. If you can't justify the cost versus the sound that's a different thing. Being facetious I could say "that just makes you cheap."
One last thing. None of us bought all this stuff overnight. It has been a long process of steady upgrading that in my case started in 1970.
