Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars

Because of the noise, many knowledgeable and experienced AudiogoN members no longer participate in any discussions.   This is to the detriment of new members who wish to learn more. Fortunately, there is a wealth of knowledge stored in the discussion forum archives. But, who knows if it's being tapped.

unfortunately; since gear and tech evolves, archives have limited value since their relevance is out of date. what's needed is to retain more serious experienced audiophiles that do bring that knowledge base. it's the people that matter. but really i doubt that the bell can be 'un-rung' for Audiogon. the forum owners/mods are not motivated to want any change in the status quo. they tolerate all sorts of things now, that never would have past muster in times past. 

it's much harder to find value for me here now, and most threads i enter get overrun by distractions. i went for a number of years not posting here at all, and recently returned trying to find some fun and enjoyment since i have more time and effort invested in Audiogon than anyone. my system thread has 3300+ posts, but is mostly dead now. use to be very much alive.

Hmmm

And, all the conspiracy theorists may now chime in.

As an aside, WHO CARES what something costs and what someone is willing to pay for it?

Does it bother people if someone can afford this? And who cares what their motivation is. 

Live and let live, people. 

@mikelavigne   I value your posts and interactions on the various threads. I know of others who do.

Please stayed engaged and contribute. We need perspective from all levels and most who have cost no object systems are unfortunately not participating. State of the art perspective provides references and, at the end of the day, is what everyone is aiming for (within their budgets).

I think there's value in trying to figure out why products exist, who they're for, etc.  If something is priced high for reasons that legitimately contribute to performance it's different than if it's just because the manufacturer is trying to appeal to a particular market, running a scam, etc.
