$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.

“Whatever the market will bear” is very different from “the market determines the price.” A box of cereal is $4. Give me a break! The market did not determine that price, trust me, 
No, I don’t get it. But that’s OK, I never get your posts, glubsong. Probably because my doctor curtailed my medications last year. All seven of them. 
🤡 priceless! Glubson comes through in the clutch. Get it? Clutch?
Back when I had speakers I made sure guests were blindfolded so the issue of what the room looked like was never really an issue. But I can tell you this, there were a LOT of tweaks in that room, my friends.
