$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.

@Andy, "high-end" is of no interest to me. I have no problem differentiating the two.
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.

Arm chair quarterback is alive and well.  Most of the time though, it's more like couch potato quarterback unfortunately and sadly.  The final fate for most of them.
