@aewarren normally I’d agree but if you look at the OP’s other posts he seems sincere and has been here for years and has owned other systems.
I could see potential reasons why someone might not want to disclose their electronics purchase at this moment (territory/dealer restrictions, etc)
Regarding Vandersteens I heard the Model 7’s when they first came out and was really impressed, but it’s a different kind of sound the balsa (I think?) drivers impart and couldn’t imagine someone buying them without hearing them. Same with the beryllium mids/tweeters my TAD’s use. I’ve bought under $5k speakers without hearing them, but close to a six figure pair weighting hundreds of pounds? Not me.
