who own's $20,000k and up speakers

I can't understand what you're saying. You really need to work on your grammar.

The op spent > 20K on his sopra 3s?

thats coming from someone who can't pronouce 'about' and since your gear is not higher end Naim I guess no need for an answer out of you

My new system has 70k speakers feed from a 4K source.

Sopra 3s are not that "hi end"  , they can be considered avarage, in the world of high end

So dont worry, you got a good setup for mortals like us, similar to mine

but if the question is a comparison od

272/300 + utopias

vs

statement + sopra 3

statement + sopra 3 is far better option in my opinion

Strictly speaking the subject says $20,000k, i.e. 20 million. So, no, such speakers should be very rare.

I was not comparing my gear, just an observance of others systems fronted with 500 series and lower end speakers..

Sorry, i tought you were talking about your speakes as well...

Yes I have Verity Audio Sarastros and they are a good match for my electronics...

I also think a fairly common connotation is 'megalos malakas'....

megalos I knew, malakas I had to Google. Ah, classical studies, they never teach you the right words. 

Indeed - hardly classical Greek. Benefits of growing up and playing in a band with Greek friends

A Greek friend of mine told me some time ago what the meaning of malaka was.

lol yes it has different term meanings and my screen name doesn't mean I was referring to myself or I could be referring to other's.......for the topic like I said I've observe a lot of guys dishing out $70k-$100kusd on Naim gear but was curious about how many of those actually dished out on loudspeakers

I know also one half dutch/half Greek Guy, time ago he explained to me the meaning of "malaka" 

Naimites usually live huddled in little rooms with a fireplace as centre of attention, sometimes with the fireplace in the middle of the room..

having an expensive speaker usually means having a " big " one that just doesn't fit in our usual dimensions of habitat. Of course you can spend big ones on little ones, but Naimites are usually more sensible

How can the country which has given us Liberte, Egalite and Fraternite, the Citroen DS and Brigitte Bardot in her better years give us this expression of absurdity which by far exceed Quasimodo himself?

It must be a plastic tree too.

I guess it just means that each country is capable of the best and the worst , or that France should not be indicted for focal speaker creature.

I know I spent well beyond but do most with higherend Naim gear have higherend loudspeakers or they blew it all on there electronics and get by with cheap average speakers

What do you class as cheap average speakers Malaka?

My speakers destroy anything at 20k, and I won't hear any more on the matter....
