medyo OT to ha but i just would like to know, what type of speakers/brands are categorized as (kasalanan to ni grestbop kaya ako napa-isip):
1. entry level
2. mid level
3. high end.
sana mapagbigyan munti kung tanong.
If you have to stratify speakers into those 3 layers, you'd find out that many speakers will fall in each depending on the manufacturer's own categorization, not to mention consumer perception. Entry levels for B&Ws and Sonus Fabers can fall below the P50T price point. While entry levels for Wharfedales and Missions fall below the 15T mark. For mid-level, boy, you have almost the whole range of differing series depending on the manufacturer. All the way to the high end which can start above 350T for the B&W 800 series to the P1.4M Martin Logans and some other unheard of brands.
For some audiophiles, entry levels are below 100T. Hi end, above 500T. And in between are mid-levels. And for others, anything above 100T is hi-end. So there's really no hard classification. I used to classify them before in about the same manner. But it's kinda useless and defeating. These days, I couldn't care less what those classifications mean, as long as listening to what I bought makes my hair stand on end.
