分成五個 category to rank those Hi-end speakers in the world.
1.Performance
is easy to understand. The highest performing speakers would get the highest grade of 100 points.
e.g Wilson Audio Grand Slamm 這項拿到滿分 !!! 總排名第四.
2.Longevity/Relevance
is a topic about how meaningful a speaker is in the marketplace and how long it has been a relevant speaker for those seeking top-level audiophile speaker performance. Some speakers have been around for years but are getting a bit long in the tooth, whereas others had/have a long run but are still highly relevant, thus earning a higher grade. Others have specific applications that make them uniquely relevant.
*能歷久彌新, 要不擁抱最新科技, 要不設計具前瞻性
3.Value
is a funny topic when you talk about speakers costing $5,000 and above; however some speakers are a better deal than others. Some speakers that perform very well also cost more than the GDP of a small nation. Some speakers hold their value when others drop 50 plus percent the day you buy them. The better the value for the speaker the better the grade in this category.
*超級美聲 but 超級天價 這裡會扣分, so 相對便宜的 B&W 800D 因此脫潁而出 拿到總排名第二名 !
4.Aesthetics
is a key vote as anybody who tells you speakers are all about sound and not about design have no idea what they are talking about. At these prices you deserve to get it all; however some of the speakers on this list are just plain ugly. Others are fantastically designed, finished and appointed and those speakers are the ones who get the highest grade for this category.
* 工藝資訊透明度, 除了文宣吹捧美聲的形容詞外 , 花了一堆銀子, 買主有權知道所有細節 !
5.Lust
is the most ambiguous category and likely the biggest wild card. There was more than one occasion when a speaker got medium to poor grades across the board. But when it came to the question of "How badly do you want to own this speaker?" its score suddenly changed. Other speakers could do well in every category but when it came to lust - there was just nothing there. In many ways, this was the most fun category.
*渴望度 Wilson Audio Maxx 拿滿分, 總排名第五.
We created a basic list of speakers at $5,000 and above for consideration and put the list out for external recommendations. We ended up with 45 qualified contenders that in many ways represent the elite best loudspeakers ever made. Then we voted, argued and then voted again. And again. This was the process we used in order to come to our final, 25 Best Expensive Audiophile Speakers of All Time list.
