So what's the better deal (honestly)?

I love my sasha 2 but that paint job cost is a total ripoff.
its like being robbed by your own relatives.

Will a cars paint job cost you that much? Putting into
consideration a car is harder to paint with all the curves,
dent and all the parts you have to remove to start painting
like windows, handles, bumpers etc.

Hi, was in England back now.I don't think you can hear a 27k paint job however the Magico outriggers do improve the sound greatly. The stainless still feet that are included tend to give a harder sound with far less detail.I am using custom Symposium Super plus with Stealth top that were custom made for me they use Tellurium Copper spikes on Magico Q3s.

I would make a bonfire and burn all the money 

You can get a very nice pair of loudspeakers or component for $7600.....

Some people have money to spend others don't such is life.
