"Price: From $1500 plus expenses."
Don't believe everything you think.

It's the "plus expenses" that's the killer. Who decides what they are? Presumably he may ensure that all travel is first class, hotels 5 star, meals only at the nearest Michelin starred restaurant etc.
Even if I am just saying this to make a point, what control do customers have?

Plenty. They can establish their own budget--much like
they would for a piece of gear--and spend accordingly.

By way of clarification, please note that the majority of the images for this article are drawn from the system optimisation detailed in the review. They show work in progress rather than the end result. The conditions (room decor, listening seat etc) in this case are a given - and a major contributor to the challenge. The whole point of choosing this room/system was to see what could be achieved in a distinctly real-world environment with limited options.
The image with the large yellow "poster" between the speakers is my room. This is a dedicated work-space that suffers none of the domestic constraints that normally impinge on system set up: hence the sheer quantity of equipment in evidence, the trailing cables etc.
You may notice that this piece appears in the Equipment Reviews section of TheAudioBeat.com. That is quite deliberate, inviting people to consider for a moment that set up and installation are a vital part of actually realising component performance. Just like painting a picture, we can all do it - but some of us are (considerably) better at it than others.
Finally, as regards pricing, I believe that the cost is $1500 for the first day, $1000 for subsequent days on the same visit. Expenses cover travel and accommodation and are agreed in advance.
