They can cost several thousand dollars a pair.

  It's absurdly expensive to be an audophile, I couldn't get into it. The used market is very lacking in my area unfortunately.

    I was about to say the opposite (thankfully used equipment is abundant & cheap where I'm at). There's also the DIY route.

    The good stuff is not prohibitively expensive The stuff built for the "audiophiles" who worry about cosmic energy and theta crystals and chips in vaccines is. And it's not even that well built. If I just want to spend mindlessly amounts of money there are better ways like buying fancy watches or buying a boat, etc

  I think you all misunderstand, I believe @augustk means a person to speak at an event.

    That was my first thought as well, but then I noticed the "a pair" bit :)

      I meant the original post, "depends on the person" was the clue. Not the most straight forward language ever devised though.

  I've never seen a difference above a few hundred bucks a pair. It's diminishing returns above that.
