1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma

Lotuss4: A Lamborghini may be absurd by some standards and by some people's estimation. However, I will put the care, the quality of manufacture, the complexity, even the reputation of the Lamborghini against this speaker (and associated amps etc.)and I am sure this Kharma product does not come close. Even so, the Lamborghini is not $1,000,000! I am sorry to be so close minded on this one, but this is a cynical attempt by an audio manufacturer to create value by advertising and promotion rather than building it into the product and charging an appropriate amount for it. I understand what you are saying, Lotuss4, that one man's cup of tea is another one's ... , but if we stretch that concept so far, we lose our basis for evaluation of anything and everything, and thus our ability to even express our sense of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with everything. I don't want to live in a world where I can't say more than "I don't like it" or ".. given the price/performance, it is not my cup of tea." Given the sarcastic responses to this thread, I think a lot of people would agree with me.

Hiwaves: if you don't have genuine interest or useful input, please go to Walmart chat room. This is not the space for your attempt at "creative humor".

I agree with Lotuss4. While I may not be able to afford, or for that case even desire a $1,000,000 speaker, who am I to place limits on what others may covet? I don't drive a Rolls-Royce, but I respect the right (and it is their right) to indulge themselve. Arguing over whether the speakers represent a good value is missing the point.

Hiwaves and Saturn99 - humor is always welcome, especially in such a light-hearted thread. I couldn't stop laughing at the offer of the speakers as settlement in the dead neighbor lawsuit and the observation of the dampened excess vibrations. But seriously, do people really feel that if I can find a pair for $600K used that this is a good price?

Something to think about: why do people complain (or make fun) about the cost of audio equipment, while we seldom hear any complaints about the rising cost of Ferraris ? or diamonds? a single carat of diamond can cost $25,000. If I can't (or don't want to) spend a large amount on something, I would just leave that choice to someone else... why doubt the worth or make fun? (at least see the product first before making the decision.) Can you imagine the courts in this country making decisions before all the evidence (no matter how insignificant) is seen/heard?
