There is another subject on Audiogon in regrads to 'Vandersteen's' new model #7 loudspeaker, it was at the CES and alone costs $45,000, partnered with ancillaries that totalled $300,000, apparently it sounds 'sublime'.
No shit! if you can't make or sell a speaker that sounds good for less than $45,000, then one perhaps is in the wrong business, then again one IS in the wrong business. The Car Industry in the EU
thrives and indeed runs and survives on the fact that the budget cars that the masses buy enables the mid range and luxury cars to be produced, no bottom end means no top end.
Who can afford to pay that much when all the world is going to the dogs?
Instead of a race to see who can produce stupid exotica that only doctors/lawyers/pop stars/actors can buy.
Give us some bread and butter speakers with bread and butter prices,keep the normal waged people happy, and feel free btw to leave the butter off, my cholesterol is high as it is.
Give us cheap but good, I know you designers can do it.
Renault were producing are nice car so sale only to EU's new 400m Eastern Europeans for the princely sum of 3000 euros. I am sure by now they have bazillions.
In fact when I was in Europe I would have flown to where they were selling them (they are not available to the rich west Europeans) and bought one and driven it back.
I would support Johnk of KCS, truly excellent speakers, that put these mega ridiculously priced speakers to shame.
