Just my opinion of course.
Harbeth P3ESR. Nice speakers, I like them. But you can get 80-90% of the same sound for much less.
Most of the Audio Note Speakers. They're just simple 'DIY tier' speakers wearing designer clothing.
Some of the entry level KEF.
Martin Logan.
Ophidian Audio. £700 for their dinky pipsqueak Minimo Speakers.
The more expensive Dali Speakers. I only like the more affordable Dali's. Can forgive the 'Oberon' range. But anything above that gets my middle finger.
What are your opinions?

I don’t really keep up with modern kit, but any stand mount with a 4 figure price is pushing it.
Those Zu Audio things are a piss take price wise.
PMC are cheaply made and sound very plain. Rip off imo.

I agree , I think most kit, especially speakers, are ridiculous. The kralk speakers seem ok money as are the frugal horns, but 4,5,6k for a small box with 2 drivers is taking the piss in my eyes. As for 40, 50, 60k+ for an ugly box to make noise? What planet are these people on - that’s a decent car (most of which sound better)

Define 'overpriced'. More often than not , it means 'I'd like to buy it, but I can't afford it'. Most normal people would regard anything over £200 as too much to pay for a pair of speakers. I guess we all have a mental cut off price point above which we regard something as too expensive, but that might be £200, £2,000 or £20,000, depending on rich we are.

Kudos top of the range line. I think they've jumped on the Naim bandwagon since they are sold by Naim dealers, yet we've heard them on 3 separate occasions at shows and had to walk out almost immediately.
