By an order of magnitude or two, yeah. In addition to the very pricey speakers and receiver, you also, at that point, need fine control over room shape and acoustics, as well as more space than any apartment is likely to provide, in order to get the benefit of what you're paying for. Headphones are a much more controlled and thus easily engineered environment, so it's a lot cheaper and easier to get equivalent quality, albeit with a necessarily narrower soundstage in almost all cases.
The $450 I paid for my endgame headphone/amp/DAC wouldn't even get you in the door of an audiophile speaker place.
- clolege 6y ago$450 endgame? What do you have?
- throwanem 6y agoHD 6XX, a Magni/Modi pair, and no real interest in hearing anyone else's opinion about what I should've gone with instead.
- clolege 6y agoHaha fair enough. I ran an HD 6XX with a Jotunheim for a while, but ended up preferring a pair of JBL LSR305s with an SVS sub a lot more. I think the main reasons were being able to experience the sub frequencies with my entire body (they're too big to fit in your ears!), and share the experience with my friends.
