Best speakers around $130k?

@hilde45  First an agreed upon definition of "bling" would have to be identified.  Is that fair?

@noske I'm open to hearing people's criteria for distinguishing "sonics" from "bling." 

@hilde45 I'm open to hearing your own objective criteria by what you mean by bling. 

Its simply not fair to ask a question and not be clear about exactly what you are asking. 

Exotic veneer or high end automotive finish is obviously bling.

But does finish account for a high percentage of costs on luxury speakers? I dunno.  10 v. 2 bucks per sf. of veneer doesn't add up to much.

A lot of stuff that kinda feels bling-y, like the multi-piece cabinets on the big Wilsons,  is of course supposed to positively influence sonics.

Since Maggie's have been mentioned, interesting to note they are relatively  low bling free - a sock is a sock 😊 - and their flagship model is much less expensive than many luxury speakers to which it might be compared.

stop

you haven't lived till you've had speakers over $200k per pair

op slummin' it ...
