In Reply to: And how about a two driver speaker for $20K? nt posted by M3 lover on February 17, 2006 at 19:42:20:
You can buy a 27" CRT color television set at Costco today which will far outperform a 25" CRT color television set made by RCA in 1955 or 1960. It is far clearer, brighter, better contrast, more reliable, more efficient, far far better in every conceivable way. It costs about $300 while its 1955 counterpart cost about $500. That's in absolute dollars. In real adjusted for inflation dollars, the 2006 set costs probably less than a tenth of what the 1955 set did, maybe less than a 20th. Not so knockoff near clones of say 1960 Dynaco preamps and power amps for example. They perform about the same using similar parts except possibly better capacitors and maybe solid state power supplies (although the tubes themselves may not be as good.) They often cost as much or more than their ancient counterparts even when adjusted for inflation. Now why do you suppose that is?
