It's quite interesting to see the responses here, given that most people in here are supposedly audiophiles. So everyone thinks that it is appropriate to ridicule a $1 million speaker that nobody has actually heard? True, there are not many people with the means to spend $1 million on speakers, but in the ultra high-end, as long as there are no better overall speakers out there for less than a million, then the Grand Enigma would represents fair value, to those that can afford it. To a few extremely wealthy individuals, $1 million is pocket change. Heck, if I was a billionaire, with a $50 million mansion, I would buy the Grand Enigma, and would build a 45,000 square foot listening room on my estate to put them in, if just to brag to my other billionaire friends that I own the most expensive speakers on the planet. Money is no object. But I've also noticed how bloody defensive some of the same individuals are about the stuff they have in their own system. So why is $20,000 for a pair of Sonus Faber Amati speakers acceptable value whereas a $1 million for a pair of speakers is subject for ridicule? Going the other way, it is the same snotty audiophiles that sneer at people listening to mass market $300 mini-systems and preach from their high horse that the 'regular folk' knows nothing about music. While audiophiles feel that their own $5000 speakers represent incredible value for money, non-audiophiles question the sanity of certain people who spend more on a single power cord than most people would spend on an entire system.
