The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is


I suggest Von Schweikert Audio's "ULTRA Internal Wire Upgrade" at a 'mere' $39,700..

"reasons" might include validation (of owning the best), fear (of not owning the best), affirmation (of belonging to the exclusive club), and the afterglow (bias confirmation).
@mitch2 Interestingly enough, all of which are self imposed.

@cdwallace3 - Spending $39K is also usually a self-imposed activity, unless you are married.
If you were cheap enough to settle for the least expensive of the 4 Schweikert models for which he now provides the ULTRA internal wire upgrade, you would undoubtedly be quite pleased to know that the price for the upgrade is NOT $39K, but far less, something along the lines of only $15K.
