unbelievable! and i thought there was an age limit before you can create a response to a thread. reading a couple of the responses above, i guess the manufacturers didn't get the email that stated they were foolish to create speaker systems so expensive, like the wilson watt puppy's and maxx, sonus faber stradavarius, krell lat, martin logan, rockports, and many others. people might go broke because they have to sell all of their belongings to buy these speakers. a lot of kids will not be attending college because their parents invested their savings into a pair of speakers.
how many times do we read reviews from stereophile and others that claim the piece of equipment they are currently listening to is the best they ever heard? more times than stating the piece is a piece of junk. $25k is a whole lot cheaper than many other speaker systems out there. does it sound better than the others? don't know. but i really don't care either. as for people bashing a speaker system that might not work with a 2 watt amp, 99% of the speakers made would not work with a 2 watt amp, so what does that mean? i guess i better sell my $4k speakers because they don't work with 2 watt amps, not even 125 watt amps.
