$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.

I enjoy my Wilson's immensely. Why the hate?

Can't understand why people care how or what others spend their hard earned on. I too own Wilson speakers. Yes they are very big, and heavy, and expensive. I love the way they sound, and I also like the look. Not for everybody though, but good for me. You spend your $$ your way, and I'll spend mine my way.Cheers, and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you on the south side of our border.(we had ours a month ago and I'm still full)

Sir,

You need to understand just how pretentious Wilson and his dealers can be.

Funnily enough i sometimes get the impression that quite a few here think a sum such as this would be chump change. Not that my opinion is relevant but in my tiny mind i would consider that anyone who would spend over 27k on a paint job for their speakers would be just plain silly. I could see maybe 7k - 8k for a really fab paint job, but 27k is looney tunes territory.
