Drubin..my apologies for seeming disrespectful, however, what I mean by "stupid rich" is that quite often people will plop down a pile of cash without investigating what their buying. Example, the tweeter used in the Sony SS-AR1 is a stock tweeter from Scan-Speak, the D-3004/660000 which is an inferior tweeter to the one designed by Aerial's in house engineer's, which is also made by Scan-Speak. The D-3004 has only six small button magnets on the back of the tweeter in a circle formation resulting in small magnet mass. The Aerial tweeter uses two large solid magnets doulbled up, with very large magnet mass for a tweeter, resulting in greater power handling, better detail
and dynamics. For a speaker selling for $27K, you would think Sony would put in a better tweeter equal to the quality of the one in the Aerial. If your going to plunk down $27K for a pair of speaker's, you should look under the hood to make certain technically, your getting your money's worth.
