The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.

A more recent similarly lively system was Devon Turnbull's total system presentation at the San Francisco Museum Of Modern Arts showing of The Art Of Noise, June, 2024.

I'm a sucker for a large space and horns, reminiscent of my old loft and the bands Altec A7's.     

...I remember an ad for a PA that claimed to be able to weld thin mild steel plates....
Maybe left behind in the closet marked: recycle in X decade  🙄

@mclinnguy

@knotscott There will be a part II

Part II came out yesterday. I found it shortly after seeing your reply. TY!

Who in the world spends $30k on a pair of speakers?! That’s absolutely nuts!

You’d be surprised. There’s a whole world of upper tier audio gear that seems to be thriving, some of which truly outperforms what most of us have access to, but that level of sound can be surprisingly finnicky to setup and to the entire system chain. Focal, Avant Guarde, YG Acoustics, Clarysis, Enigma, Magico, MBL, Gryphon, and a slew of others.

Hey, if you don't like them, send them to me.  I'm sure I can "suffer" along with them.  *grin*
