$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.

Come on guys that not a lot to spend on a paint upgrade. You know you drop that much on a weekend with a few wild women so why not take a weekend off and put it where it counts. The paint offers a great improvement on acoustics which is fairly audible, I'm sure. If that is not the case then you're screwed!
 Uhm, take a look at your own system and tell me you've never had someone shake their head at how much you've spent.

Yup - my wife.  Repeatedly!
