$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.

Andy 2 hit it right on the head.....The value of (anything) is only what a person will pay for it.  My Lawyer's got speaker cables that cost more than (both) my cars !!!
Crazy price for a paint job, BUT- at the end of the day; Wilson Audio’s bottom line will be fine, their Facebook followers will still be happy(ie: reviews = 4.9 out of 5 stars, their, "likes" = >41K), and- the underprivileged will continue their ubiquitous crying.      Want some cheap cheese, to go with your box of whine?
