The trend of availability of the most expensive offerings in speakers, or any component, has a mix of reasons. The primary reason IMO is the willingness of a suitable potential customer and their own decisions to part with funds for a desired and anticipated outcome. More people than ever have bigger bucks to splash out for top priced equipment.
It's okay.
My interest would be to curate some of the good stuff at a massive discount from original retail. I am not in a hurry for my wish lists to be fulfilled, and there is a lifetime's worth of music to enjoy while plans come together.
