I know this is a silly comparision, but I had some free time recently and I was trying things out.
I swapped the Proac D2 with Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers. Both the speaker pairs are thoroughly run in.
Ofcourse, there is a difference in the speakers but the difference to my ears does not really justify the more than 1500 Pound price difference or the 12 times price difference. For sure the D2s did not sound 12 times better than the 9.1s
May be a rating system, possibly upto 100 points, with out considering the actual price of the speakers can be an indicative of the actual sound quality instead of putting the speakers in a price bracket and finding the best in that price bracket.
I would say that the 9.1 might be at 70 points and and D2 at 85 points, may be from the above consideration.
What do you think, in general about the entire price bracket based rating system?
