ROFLMAO! This has got to be the most absolutely foolish statement I have ever read on this board.
While you may judge the quality of your speakers based on price alone, for those of us that actually listen to speakers instead of judge by pricetag, this statement isn't worth the cyber-space it occupies.

Any human being, even you, can listen to 2 pairs of $200 speakers and determine which sounds better to them. Owning $45,000 speakers isn't a prerequisite for this.

This the 2nd time inside a month you've managed to bring your elitist "my expensive gear is better than your inexpensive gear" attitude to a thread and piss off the general public.
Good job, Mr. Moderator...it looks good on you.

Oh your worshipfulness, please shed your infinite audio wisdom upon on us so that we who are blind can see the line you speak of...tell us specifically, at what point does Hi-Fi end and High-End begin?
Please qualify your statments...We'll call them Florian's Rules of Audio...

Wow, you've spoken with every serious audiophile? That must have taken some time...
By the way, what is a "serious audiophile"? Are there audiophiles that aren't serious, just joking around perhaps when they listen to dozens of speakers when determining their next purchase? Perhaps you have to spend so much money to be an audiophile?
