HIGH END AUDIO vs BUDGET GEAR! The Law of Diminishing Returns in Hi-Fi
A viewer wrote in and asked at what price points do I think the law of diminishing returns takes hold when discussing audiophile and home theater components? I do my best to break this question down by category, as well as share THREE BIG FACTORS that contribute to you experiencing diminishing returns in your own system.

Loudspeakers are a great example. I've encountered numerous $500 bookshelf speakers that are as good if not better than $1500-2500 speakers. Of course, the opposite is always true but that fact is that there are a lot of brands that punch well above their price bracket leaving you to spend 1000s more for a real noticeable improvement. So you have to ask yourself, how much is going from 90% as good to 100%? How much is that last 10% worth to you?

The 3 Biggest Factors that contribute to the law of diminishing returns of your own audio system.

1. Personal taste
2. Your listening space
3. Age

Remember the only person that has to like the sound of your system is YOU.
