Why should I care how other people spend their money?
Wilsons new flagship
Maybe I am getting old but Wilsons new flagship $780k and they feel it is justified,
lit gets better if you want custom paint $110,000 they said it takes 2 days to paint both speakers, Jays audio lab commented and I think it was way too much and
$110k for $300 in paint is nuts that is truly taking advantage of everyone with wealth, imo only an idiot would pay that. I guess nothing should surprise me any more !!

If a person can afford to throw that kind of money, he probably had the brains to earn that much wealth. $110k is probably $1 for such person. I would not call such a person idiot, if he has the brains and the knack to make that kind of money. This way, we all would be idiots per the people who live on food stamps. Everyone has their life and choices. |
@skinzy exactly. I don't care how Wilson prices their new speakers-if they were $300k cheaper it would still be irrelevant to me. If someone chooses to buy them, its not my business. Its not illegal or immoral and its their money. I also don't know the motivation for making such a purchase, but a lot of people seem to be able to read the minds of people they have never met. If I had to guess, I would guess that the folks who buy those speakers don't give a damn about what we think of their choice in loudspeakers. |
Obviously, you’re not in the Mercedes Benz G Wagon Carlex atelier space. 525K-625K. Not in the practice of lecturing those for their capital expenditure choices. However, it does strain one’s sensibilities to believe that with so much capital, one has no more imagination than that. There are plenty leading the way by investing in scholarships, parks, hospitals, libraries or any number of worthwhile causes. Love Kevin ‘Mr. Wonderful’, but must admit to checking out when he flashes his latest watch acquisition 225K. I believe in international travel broadening the human experience, so have purchased more than my share of airline tickets and paid wholly for others’ travel, domestically and overseas. My efforts certainly pail in comparison to others, but understand it to not be a competition. I’ve enough. |
