Great article in the wall street journal today.

Strange, Gideon mentions that he has a $500,000 ceiling on a system. I will appreciate that when I visit him. I now know how much cash to bring.

New York generally knows how to do things well and often to extremes. That's part of what makes it unique. No reason to think high end audio would be any different.
"Anyone who belives any speaker is worth 100k is mentally ill."

SOme might be worth it.

The question in my mind is how many people really need $100K speakers? I don't think it should cost nearly that much to max out most any normal room at home.

Of course, need or worth are often not the determining factor in a purchase.

But if one can really afford it and is happy with the results, more power to them!
Upom reflection, I ammend my statement.
Anyone who thinks a speaker is worth 50k is very mentally ill.
