A Dali speaker I’d not heard of…

I do think sometimes that those who mention the ‘law of diminishing returns’ have never heard products that would fall into that category. I’m not aiming that at anyone, I just hear it so frequently.

I've wondered about this, having never heard gear better than my own.

I've wondered about this, having never heard gear better than my own.

A long time ago, I used to think it kicked in after about £2k per box (speaking generally), but I’m not so sure. I’ve heard some stunning stuff like £10k Class amplifiers that sound as good as you could imagine, and I’d be happy with as end-game. Hearing some great sounding speakers in the £15-20k price bracket, which I always thought would be hard to better without spending six figures, have been obliterated by speakers at twice that price. Where that value lies is down to the individual, but my perception of ‘law of diminishing returns’ has shifted.

If someone has a system based around £200 per box hears a system based on £2,000 per box, they will either love what the more expensive system is doing, or not feel it is worth the extra - this then becomes their “LoDR”. We’re all different, so our LoDR will be different to everyone else’s. And some people hear others say it about certain equipment, so it becomes fact that that is the case, and they’ll repeat it on forums - because many on social media that don’t really know what they’re talking about presumes that everyone else on social media (in the relevant hobby groups) are experts.

It’s not the kind of product you can sneak past the wife either. 🤣

Of course it is..."the KORE's unpacking and installation is eased by a 'castors and ramp' "

Just make sure the castors don't squeak. A drop of 3-in-1 should do it.

That is precisely why I could never work in hifi/AV - it would just breed dissatisfaction!

I’ll ask if they make a pair for around £300 to appease the non-adventurous.
