I think some cables are just a little too expensive.

Way way over priced..one guy i know of has oden 2 inter connects.  speakers cable u name it..retail 200k...kid u not in his system. 

@mikelavigne  Thanks for your input.  I notice that even the smaller MM3s weigh 1300 lbs and retail for $80,000.  They are three part speakers so they would be easier to handle. I was hoping to purchase the VS VR9SE Mk2 for $35,000.   I read a review that indicated that the MM3s are 93db efficient, 7 ohm nominal +/- 2db making them easy to drive like the VR9.  I want to use 125 w. monoblock tube amps which have huge power supplies.  I can't do that with the Ultra 55s per VS (they require a minimum of 200 watts).  It's possible someone could sell the MM3s heavily discounted.  I presume that the MM3 Exacts are quite a bit more expensive.  The other problem with the VR9 and MM3 is finding exactly the right spot for them as they are so heavy assembled (I'm sure your MM7s took forever to find the right spot). 

More like the power of ignorance. People spouting about communism and socialism and several other things... So much wrong not only about those things and the countries that didn't even practice them (USSR / Russia, China, etc.) anywhere near what the ideas where, however flawed.

The problem with discussing politics is most people have no idea what they are talking about. They parrot misinformation they heard from equally ignorant sources or worse, the lies and propaganda from the many exploitative manipulators who direct them like puppets.

In so far as Capitalism being the ultimate solution, believers are in the above category of ignorants, thinking they to will one day be rich. It's possible but very unlikely. The path to, and achievement of wealth as practiced in our world creates much misery, poisons the environment as well as societies, and stokes the flames of war.

Everything has it's problems. Aspects of Capitalism can produce positive outcomes, just as socialism can. Balance is the key to a bright future for all. Humans are short-sighted, naturally selfish, and easily misled though. We still have much evolving to do.

On topic, $65k is crazy for cables. My opinion sure, but there's a saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted", and it is as true as ever.

One thing most audio people fail to realize or value is that cables should maximize or almost ’perfect’ - all of the components in a system.
One analogy is that non-audio people just don’t "get it" (the beauty and satisfaction most of us enjoy with high end music reproduction). Non-audiophiles just shake or scratch their head about the cost of a system of more than, say $1,000 (their idea of high priced).
Similarly, many audio folks don’t "get it" regarding the price/value of cables that can maximize achievement of that goal. Those audiophiles just shake or scratch their head about the total cost of cables in a system of more than, say $1-5,000+ (THEIR idea of high priced cables).
Imperfect analogies but you get the idea.

Bob Ludwig found value in these for his mixing room.  I was fortunate enough to get a demo of those beautiful Eggletsonworks masterpieces, the Ive Signature SE.  I have no idea what cables were used but Bob felt they offered a significant improvement for him.  I used to listen to Dave Ramsay a lot when traveling for work.  He would often talk about one of his billionaire friends.  He said the guy bought a $300,000 car and that it was like a regular guy buying a biscuit.  I did the math and it's true.  I don't think Bob is a billionaire but sound is his life so I can see spending 100s of 1000s of $$ to make my passion, my hobby, my livelihood better.
