In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment

While at this years Florida Audio Expo; I listened to the class "A" Aavik 300 watt amps driving Borresen speakers.  In my opinion; it was one of the better systems/rooms.  I don't have an issue with magazines pushing unobtanium products.

As long as there are those that purchase HE equipment (regardless of price), there will be those that manufacture, sell and review, HE equipment (regardless of price).              There's a market, just as for luxury real estate, cars, yachts, jets, etc.               And; there will always exist a multitude, whose idea of, "living", is American cheese, with their boxed whines ......er.....wines.

"...such theories about the fall of our own country?"

What fall? Producing fine amplifiers, as far as I can read.

+1 Glupson, solid ideas for someone “immune, and insensitive” to Covid.  

@stereo5 , sorry to hear about your friends 😕

I just realized that I don’t really care to read about stereo equipment that is astronomically priced, but I love to research cars that I’ll never be able to afford.  And Doug DeMero’s reviews are crap and his “Doug Score’s” are a joke.  He’s more concerned about cup holders and quirks than ripping down a canyon road at 9,000 rpms.  If you want to watch good car reviews check out Mr. JWW or The Smoking Tire.  The new Konigsegg Jesko and Konigsegg Gemera are 👍.  Ferrari Tributo 👍. New C8 Vette 👍👍

chorus,

"...or $32k standmounts either."

Which ones are those? I would like to see their picture and, maybe, read about them. Not buying them, though.
