$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???


$27,500 is a nice chunk of change, even in the audiophile world.  I think we can all agree on this.  You can get a pretty kick ass system for that amount.  I think we can all agree on this, too.  I just read something at stereophile.com that almost...almost made me choke on my triscuit.   Luckily for me, I had water ready to go, knowing how dry those things are.  $27,500 is the price for a paint upgrade, a color called cranberry pearl finish on a pair of speakers made by Wilson, the Chronosonic XVX.   Now, when we hear the name Wilson, we all know what that means.   But come on man,  $27,500 for a paint upgrade.

Why do people care about how others spend money? We all chose careers and some careers pay more than others.  Some are lucky. That’s the world.  If someone has 27k for a paint job and that’s how they want to spend it why is that bad or wrong? Helps keep the economy moving and it’s all done in the USA in this instance. Far better than giving handouts to people for doing nothing.  Not sure why audio prices seem to elicit reactions more than other things - there are watches that go for over a million and then check out what art work goes for at Sotheby’s.  It’s just oil on a piece of canvas.....
