Best speakers around $130k?

@hilde45 I'm open to hearing your own objective criteria by what you mean by bling. 

Its simply not fair to ask a question and not be clear about exactly what you are asking. 

Exotic veneer or high end automotive finish is obviously bling.

But does finish account for a high percentage of costs on luxury speakers? I dunno.  10 v. 2 bucks per sf. of veneer doesn't add up to much.

A lot of stuff that kinda feels bling-y, like the multi-piece cabinets on the big Wilsons,  is of course supposed to positively influence sonics.

Since Maggie's have been mentioned, interesting to note they are relatively  low bling free - a sock is a sock 😊 - and their flagship model is much less expensive than many luxury speakers to which it might be compared.

stop

you haven't lived till you've had speakers over $200k per pair

op slummin' it ... 

🤣😂😎

OP here... the swipes are so unnecessary.  I'm literally just doing a personal comparative study using information from the community.  No need to direct digs at the price point.  While I realize (now) that I opened myself up for it when I put the price point in the post, I am really just trying to get at what compares to the Alexx Vs and Aidas, because I had the privilege of listening to both recently.  Price point is one way to measure comparability, and there have been some other very helpful comments doing comparisons from other perspectives.  I am grateful and appreciative for all the productive comments and wisdom so far.  THANK YOU! 

And FYI, I like gear and expanding my audiophile horizons, regardless of whether I can afford any particular product(s) I am looking at.  I thought most of us were like that in here.  Should be about the learning and enjoying, not the swiping.

op

we are enthusiasts here, but "most of us" don’t have speakers costing 6 digits

your practically content-less, context-less initial post smacked of trolling - when i see something that smacks of trolling, i can’t resist a similarly troll-like retort at times... sometimes 🤗

your reply just now lets others take you more seriously... maybe...

that said, you seriously think you’ll get a number of meaningful responses to your post? - i can go onto rennlist (the porsche forum), and ask, yo, so what's the best porsche you’ve owned over $1,500,000? go!!! ... what kind of replies do you think would result? (answer -- a lot just like what you’ve had here) - most readers would do a huge eyeroll...

merry christmas, no harm intended, lil dig is just fun...
