$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.

 It's not a "high end" forum. It's an audio forum.
I think this is both "audio" and "high-end" forum rolled into one.  Anyway, it's hard to separate the two.  Most regular people probably have some inexpensive receivers bought from Fry's Electronics.  A 1000 dollar separate amp probably considered "high-end" to most people.

"high-end" is for people who aren't really interested in anything other than being better.
Better than what?

@Andy, "high-end" is of no interest to me.  I have no problem differentiating the two.  People who are interested in audio want the best performance for however much they're willing to spend.  People who are interested in high-end are of no interest to me.  It's such a ridiculous term.

It has nothing to do with you.  I am just saying about this forum which is both "audio" and "high-end", and whether you like it or not, it's not my problem really.

@andy2 - "high-end" isn't an interesting term.  Is it high-end or not?  What if it's only mid-end?  What if it's 53.5678124326243% high-end?  It's just not an interesting term.  obviously.
