$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???

Why do people care about how others spend money? We all chose careers and some careers pay more than others.  Some are lucky. That’s the world.  If someone has 27k for a paint job and that’s how they want to spend it why is that bad or wrong? Helps keep the economy moving and it’s all done in the USA in this instance. Far better than giving handouts to people for doing nothing.  Not sure why audio prices seem to elicit reactions more than other things - there are watches that go for over a million and then check out what art work goes for at Sotheby’s.  It’s just oil on a piece of canvas.....

I think the opinion is just that most people think this is ridiculous just like a million dollar watch or painting just as you described. 
I can think just that and not care that it happens but still think its asinine.

I would love to hear these speakers, even with the standard “crappy” paint, somewhere on the east coast.

I still remember decades ago hearing Dave Wilson himself demoing the original WAMM at sound by singer.

Since several people mentioned car paint, I recently had to have several panels on my 911 Targa 4S repainted, due to a parking mishap.

Hoping to keep the car looking good in an urban environment for many years to come, I am having the entire car wrapped in clear 3M rock guard.

Maybe speakers could also use the 3M material developed for helicopter blades in dessert storm. Maybe someone one will claim the material damps the cabinet and produces sonic benefits LOL.
