Dole u komentarima se pojavio neki AndyAndy (prvi komentar) i dao baš sličnu izjavu kao neki ovde:
Love the sound...BUT...the 3 inch full range driver the W5 using is the Fountek Fe85. A measly $12.80 each at partexpress. I don't care how it sounds...ain't gonna pay $3,500 base price for el cheapo drivers. Way too many choices out there....sorry.
A onda je AudioPrana objasnio:
So, it's the parts, not the engineering or the implementation that indicates sound quality. Well, that's an easily understood premise. Over-simplification is long been a cornerstone for those who have no engineering background. It's a way to quantify a belief or desire to know more than they do. Your assertion is backed up by everything except history and fact. Firstly, a speaker is made of more than just parts. It's first and foremost a design. For instance, the W5SE+ has silver and gold caps, silver wire, BB add ons etc. But even without those, it is the sound and the engineering behind the sound one pays for. Goldmund uses very inexpensive drivers in most of their speakers. It's not because they haven't auditioned the most expensive, or that they couldn't easily afford them. It's because, a certain driver (in this case, with more pliant surrounds) they can manipulate in a way of their choosing. You pay for the sound, for the engineering behind the sound, and for the knowledge that you'll never need another stereo (tank build quality) and styling...not for a bunch of parts. Any moron can buy some parts. It's typical in the audiophile community and diy communities to focus on parts price...on easily explained reasons for sound. ('did you see that cheap volume control?' 'can you believe the caps he used in that $30k amp?; 'his internal wiring is what I get for $3 a ft. at Rat Shack.'; & 'those transformers are off the shelf crap.' it's a way to feign knowledge of how something actually works, and thereby assessing a false value. True knowledge of how a driver is loaded (far more important than the driver itself) would be beyond what most DIYers could quantify. Because it takes lots of work and actual mathematics and listening. I would liken it to someone saying, 'you know the LED lights they're using in the Hubble Telescope, only cost $3.75 a piece. What a rip off for 2.5 billion dollars.'; Because getting into the years of work it took to gain the knowledge much less the engineering process to make something work the way they want, is just way beyond their ability to discuss. If you can make a speaker, that approaches the sound of the W5SE+ using the similar parts, please let me know. We'll buy it. But first, do me a favor. Add up the hours or years it took you to figure it out, the parts cost (not just the one's you used but the dozens you sampled), production costs, and we can determine at what price it should come to market.
