$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.

Back when I had speakers I made sure guests were blindfolded so the issue of what the room looked like was never really an issue. But I can tell you this, there were a LOT of tweaks in that room, my friends.

My wife and I never shop at Walmart, do you?
Why would you care? What difference would it make to you, one way or another? Please explain.
You were upset I said Wilson is just a greedy bespoke audio company and went on about Walmart suppliers not making a living wage so I asked if you support Walmart.  What is so hard to understand?   If you think those ugly Wilson’s are worth upwards of 750K then good for you.

No, I wasn’t upset at all, and it’s not at all clear what would lead you to that conclusion. (Virtually nothing in this forum upsets me, btw.)
... and went on about Walmart suppliers not making a living wage
I have made no such comment here at all. None. Ever. This is just pure fiction on your part. And I still don't know why you would care whether anyone here shops at Walmart, or not. Why would it make any difference to you at all?
