$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???

$27,500 is a nice chunk of change, even in the audiophile world.  I think we can all agree on this.  You can get a pretty kick ass system for that amount.  I think we can all agree on this, too.  I just read something at stereophile.com that almost...almost made me choke on my triscuit.   Luckily for me, I had water ready to go, knowing how dry those things are.  $27,500 is the price for a paint upgrade, a color called cranberry pearl finish on a pair of speakers made by Wilson, the Chronosonic XVX.   Now, when we hear the name Wilson, we all know what that means.   But come on man,  $27,500 for a paint upgrade.

@millercarbon you do know there is a difference between premium paint and paint to match a sample at Porsche.....

never the less, I am fine with Adventurine green, slate grey, Garnet, Zanzibar red and finally Zmexico blue... in that order

Garnet was actually my fave until the dealer decided to touch up all the nose paint chips from Mid Ohio, without shaking the paint..... there is a LOT of silver in Garnet....

I'm really okay with someone else spending $27,500 on a paint job.

As a person with a pedestrian Guards Red 991.2 RS, I would have gladly paid for PTS which was less than half the cost of paint on these speakers. I agree on the absurd, money grab price.

It’s a good thing that they only decided on $27.5k...as some of their dealers were asking for ten times that amount, for the paint job that is~😬
