Magico's M9

@mikelavigne It's a slow day, I think it's fun to poke at some expensive beast, probably not classy but better than punching down. My pet peeve is design and I have a lot to say about expensive speakers that are difficult to look at. 

I read the winner of the Musk/Zukerberg cage fight wins a pair. Or was it grows a pair?  

I guess you cannot afford them.
 

Yes you would pair them with appropriate electronics. Likely costing more than the speakers.

There are people that legitimately make a lot of money. I have worked with many of them. CEOs of large corporations. It is a humbling experience to work with folks this smart and driven. They worked incredibly hard to become the people they are and to guide enormous corporations through changing environments. Most I have worked with have been very good people with integrity and charity… and are ferociously intelligent. The  millions they take home a year is completely worth it for the company,  the people that work for the company and the community they exist in. They contribute to charitable organizations. 
 

While I am compassionate about  people in the street, either they have problems that should be addressed by the government. Like mental health problems, vets… etc.. I was a volunteer at Chicago State Mental Hospital in the ‘60s. These people were turned out to the streets because society decided through voting that this is not the responsibility of government. Or if they are able bodied, they need take. Are of themselves.

I do not criticize folks that have the wherewithal to buy and appreciate top tier audio equipment. I spent on average working 70 hours a week over the last fourth years to create the home and system I own, and I am not going to feel guilty about that. I am not going to criticize those that have achieved greater material wealth, since in doing that they gave up a lot. I have taken off nearly five years to hike, climb, bicycle, raft and travel during my career. We make choices in our lives. 
 

and there are, in many parts of the World, not excluding some in the US, people with such wealth are neither smart nor hard working. They are just criminals. Totally off-topic or maybe not - since the subject is insane wealth, in a way.

Regarding the topic, if you have a large room (mansion) and the money, and the time, buying expensive audio is for sure better than a zillion other hobbies

Compare the engineering that goes into a $250,000 low volume automobile compared to a loudspeaker.
