Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars


Wonder what the impedance/-phase angle graph will look like on these puppies, looking at the amount of D'Agostino amps used to drive them, I'd say could be pretty evil.

This past week my buddy was staying at my home while getting ready to ditch California for Florida. He brought along a $12K bottle of wine someone gave at his wedding. That is $12K at a restaurant in town that has 2 bottles.

Well he and his wife wanted to share the bottle with me. All I could think of as we drank it was uber expensive audio systems. There is someone out there for everything. Cheers.

I think there’s value in trying to figure out why products exist, who they’re for, etc. If something is priced high for reasons that legitimately contribute to performance it’s different than if it’s just because the manufacturer is trying to appeal to a particular market, running a scam, etc.
