Yes. And it does. On Planet Utopia. The Nowhere land where everyone flies to work on a unicorn and Coca-cola comes out of every faucet. $18k should buy me a beautiful speaker, beautiful car, and three beautiful women. A house. And beautiful wife to clean it. Should is my favorite word in the English language. So infinitely useful.
Meanwhile, back on planet Earth: Functionality is what it's all about. Sound quality. The most sound quality for the money.
You can have your Faberge Egg. You can even tell yourself it sounds good. For $180k it should sound as good as the $18k Tekton. There's that word again. It should.
Good luck with that.
