Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars
Cracks me up the way everyone acts like any of these specs matters. Definitive Audio is a huge Wilson dealer here in Seattle. Their flagship Audio Technica/Wilson/D'Agostino system is $1.3M. I heard it. Heard it right after one of their guys spent...
