Proac 3.8 and Audio Physic Virgo

The thing about the Proac is the Scanspeak drivers. This 7" inch driver is the best I've ever heard. It was used in a package called the "Solist" from Madisound (WWW.MADISOUND.COM)and it just stole my heart ($1500/pr). It was demo'd at out audiophile society meeting and I just couldn't believe what was coming out of it. I just don't understand why Proac, et al, think the lumber they surround the drivers with must cost an extra $6000...

to Kkirpa: Talk about your major over simplification, $6,000 for lumber? Dont forget the crossover&wire,bracing of the cabnit,the finish,transportation, AND:the DEALER'S 40 percent.Things should be made as simple as possible;but no simpler.

The proof is in the listening... (I thought it was 50%).
