Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo

I do understand, though, that these obscene prices are insult to many. This is not necessarily an envy or not only envy. Most jobs don't pay that well to own such a system. When we speak of, say, $100k system, that's different. It is still very expensive but not obscenely expensive and within the reach of relatively many.

Again, I agree.

There is a tremendous divide when it comes to how much people can apply to their system.

Having said that, this is a High End website, and as such, anyone who comes to any website that is a forum to discuss any high end item/activity, should be able to maintain an open mind.

Right. Regardless of cost I am always interested in the very best equipment, in what is possible to achieve in sound reproduction. If these Wilsons are among a handful of the very best speakers available then it is perfectly fine that they cost $300k. But let’s not devalue money, $300k is an awful lot for just one component.

Honestly... I could source...or have built the most technically advanced transducers...source a CNC machine shop to fabricate the most acoustically inert enclosure...or have it 3D printed from the most exotic materials available... and charge $300,000 for a loudspeaker system that would not ask too much from the most technically advanced amplifiers available...and have a profit of over $250,000.00 per unit pair. I think I’ll do that...and then profess that you need speaker cables that that are $50,000.00 per 8 foot pair that will need to be acquired in order to unlock the potential of my $300,000 speaker system, and $20,000 interconnects to unlock the virtual reality 3D holographic live performance image that no other cable technology can hope to project. Simply send your funds to PayPal at edgewound@aol.com. $500,000.00 will get your order in process. Thank you so very much in advance for your business!

But please...send me $500,000 for the most amazing high fidelity experience you'll ever experience in either life...or the afterlife...in my opinion.

You remind me of someone who was once spewing the same rhetoric, kenjit seem to remember his name though. 

So simple. Now, how about adding an animated feature film to your list of fantasies - just use your super duper computer.

See, it’s this kind of dismissal of just how difficult it is to make an amazing component that is so sad. It’s a combination of arrogance, ignorance as well as being completely disrespectful of the sheer time and energy goes into a product, that’s not even beginning to address the skill, experience and knowledge required to build a world class component.
