1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma

Yes, the grand enigma is how they can justify a price of 1 million dollars. Are they made of gold? I wonder how many units they will sell? Zero, perhaps? I just think that this kind of pricing is to create marketing buzz, which we are obliging them with here, and to raise the reputation of the line, so that they can sell a few more units of their "reasonably" priced speakers. Otherwise, there is no point in manufacturing, publicizing, marketing or distributing a product that noone in their right mind would consider buying. As much as I am hooked by high end audio, I would choose a yacht over a speaker were I to have a million dollars. This kind of pricing takes to ridiculous extremes one of the major things which is swrong with the high end industry.

Hey Lotuss4, You must be kidding. I hope you are kidding. Are you? In any way you want to value speakers whether that be cost of manufacture, sound quality, etc, do you really think that there is any speaker worth $1,000,000.00?

Lotuss4: A Lamborghini may be absurd by some standards and by some people's estimation. However, I will put the care, the quality of manufacture, the complexity, even the reputation of the Lamborghini against this speaker (and associated amps etc.)and I am sure this Kharma product does not come close. Even so, the Lamborghini is not $1,000,000! I am sorry to be so close minded on this one, but this is a cynical attempt by an audio manufacturer to create value by advertising and promotion rather than building it into the product and charging an appropriate amount for it. I understand what you are saying, Lotuss4, that one man's cup of tea is another one's ... , but if we stretch that concept so far, we lose our basis for evaluation of anything and everything, and thus our ability to even express our sense of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with everything. I don't want to live in a world where I can't say more than "I don't like it" or ".. given the price/performance, it is not my cup of tea." Given the sarcastic responses to this thread, I think a lot of people would agree with me.
