I have thought for a while about what the average crossover between price of Speakers/Headphones vs. their performance. At what price range of speakers do they compare to a certain price range of Headphones in SQ? I know it is difficult to compare but it's just something I've been wondering about. For example, to achieve a solid sound quality speaker setup versus a solid headphone setup what would the cost ratio likely be, 3:1, 10:1, 100:1? I currently use an iPod touch > RE0 setup (pretty weak, I know...) How much would i expect to spend in the speaker world on a similar sounding setup?
Also, at what point of cost would someone expect to start experiencing diminishing returns in price/performance? This goes for both headphones and speakers. What i mean is, where do we draw the line, Where do the $20,000.37 speakers not really sound much better than the $15,438 speakers? Don't get me wrong, if I was filthy rich I'd get the best I could possibly afford, but there must be some point, where its not worth it. HD800's don't really sound $300 better with a $300 recable, you know what I mean?
I was also wondering if anyone was aware of the best speaker discussion website, or the Head-Fi of the speaker world. Also what might be the best Car Speaker-Fi website?
