$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???

$27,500 is a nice chunk of change, even in the audiophile world.  I think we can all agree on this.  You can get a pretty kick ass system for that amount.  I think we can all agree on this, too.  I just read something at stereophile.com that almost...almost made me choke on my triscuit.   Luckily for me, I had water ready to go, knowing how dry those things are.  $27,500 is the price for a paint upgrade, a color called cranberry pearl finish on a pair of speakers made by Wilson, the Chronosonic XVX.   Now, when we hear the name Wilson, we all know what that means.   But come on man,  $27,500 for a paint upgrade.

I'm thinking of my crazy uncle Russel, who, trying to sell an MG, painted it with a brush.
It was horrible.

Funnily enough i sometimes get the impression that quite a few here think a sum such as this would be chump change.



It is true. There are some here who think being an audiophile is about how much you spend in your system, while some of us are about how much we can save!

Sir,

You need to understand just how pretentious Wilson and his dealers can be.
