I'm surprised to see so many plain ugly designs amongst that list. Almost as if stupid eye catching at any cost ergonomics was factored in as a key selling point.
Do high-rolling audiophiles have such little sense of aesthetics? Or is ostentatiousness at-any-cost the main point here?
Amongst that oddball collection I'd only consider #32 Sonus Faber Fenice ($180,000) or maybe the pyramid shaped #19 FM Acoustics Inspiration
XS-I ($350,000).
Or maybe I'd just buy some Tannoy DCs/ Linkwitz Orion's/ Harbeth M40s/ Devore 0-96s or any one of a dozen plausible
<$20k alternatives.
And a new house to put them in.
