I posted once in the same vein about $30,000 cables. Boy was I flamed for rattling the cage. I’m now a lot more zen about what folks want to do with their money. Even when it’s patently obvious value is not evident. The only thing I can’t help feeling is that somehow someone somewhere is suffering or being ripped off in the process of manufacture, distribution and transaction.
$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
$27,500 is a nice chunk of change, even in the audiophile world. I think we can all agree on this. You can get a pretty kick ass system for that amount. I think we can all agree on this, too. I just read something at stereophile.com that almost...almost made me choke on my triscuit. Luckily for me, I had water ready to go, knowing how dry those things are. $27,500 is the price for a paint upgrade, a color called cranberry pearl finish on a pair of speakers made by Wilson, the Chronosonic XVX. Now, when we hear the name Wilson, we all know what that means. But come on man, $27,500 for a paint upgrade.
