Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo

I think, most of very expensive audio equipment goes to Asia these days.
What some say about how it is here applies even more there.
Few hard working people will spend million dollars on a "stupid stereo'. Some will but those will be more of exceptions.

Right. Regardless of cost I am always interested in the very best equipment, in what is possible to achieve in sound reproduction. If these Wilsons are among a handful of the very best speakers available then it is perfectly fine that they cost $300k. But let’s not devalue money, $300k is an awful lot for just one component.

I do understand, though, that these obscene prices are insult to many. This is not necessarily an envy or not only envy. Most jobs don't pay that well to own such a system. When we speak of, say, $100k system, that's different. It is still very expensive but not obscenely expensive and within the reach of relatively many.

Some people here try to touch upon the concept of intrinsic value, and rightly so.
As for the look, they look alright to me, they are speakers not whatever, you know.
With speakers costing that much we are talking about close to a million dollars system. Is any audio system, aside from pro studio, worth million dollars ? Not to me.

This time I don’t believe Fremer. Nor do I believe what he said what his wife had said.
He recommends you not buy these speakers even if you can easily afford them. He thinks they sound excellent but are big time overpriced.
