often left in a trance, he would go on to say: "it's a ruff market out there but make no bones about it, I'd give my left woofer to own a pair of these; speaker placement is not so critical with the right sound absorbing material strategically placed.. two paws up".

The one who thought $200K for Wilsons was outrageous?
Must mean it rings like h*ll.

The bronze ones will "only" set you back £40K
Someone is going to build clones of these things, and sell them at a bargain price of $25,000/pr. ......
...I still would not buy those repulsive and ridiculous speakers.Dean.

They are shiny.
is because we don't have the imagination to see the sense of such pricing. There are others who have.
If someone has huge capital gains that have to be offset to avoid taxes, this can be done by the company "buying" something like these $5 million speakers and selling it at its real value (lookes like $1,000 speaker to me), thereby incurring a huge loss. The "seller" (a good buddy that will be rewarded for playing the game) does not realize an immediate taxable profit because he is given some kind of bs promissory note or contingent payment.
An old tax con, long deemed illegal because the sale has no economic purpose except to create a fake loss for tax purposes. I give you one guess who endorsed such practice as a director for the Marriott?

Actually, the way to do it is to set up a non-profit organization, maybe call it "Friends of The Animals" or something, then donate five million and have the organization buy the speakers. You get the tax deduction AND will have to store the speakers in your living room.
But, yes, there is a market for bling products. Haven't you been to the Monaco marina lately?
Being a chess player, some years ago I had the idea to make a chess set out of gold and platinum, and sell maybe 5 of them. Shoulda. Didn't. Dang.

I'll give you one guess who bought a house in Chicago for pennies on the dollar of its fair market value.

No, but I am a patient man, proof is I still read your posts!

The large bell IS Big Ben and it is housed in the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster which will be named (for the first time in its history) Elizabeth Tower in honour of the queens jubilee.
Beginning with the exclusivity of 99 pairs.
let's see... 99 times $5,000,000 equals $495 million.

....and between two car auctions and the Concourse D'Elegance, there is no shortage of Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, rare autos, and glitzzy-ass people around town.Here's the only car I'd be interested in. I won't be bidding on it, though. How could I buy this Goat without blowing the money I'm saving for the Speakers of the Thread?

$2,999,000 and not a penny more. But first I want to see if I can find a used pair on A'gon
or eBay.
and change. So for an additional 4.7 million bucks or so you'd have the distinction of probably being the only
person on the planet to find out if the Gold version actually sounded any "better" than the other versions - if you'd
even bother to find that out.
Like anyone that would own them would care.
I suppose if you bought the $1 million dollar pen also touted on that page you wouldn't really care if
it wrote better than the next least expensive pen.
That site is geared more towards the .0001 percent, give or take a decimal.

Be vewwy, vewwy careful. You might be twisting Dudley's words and he seems to be vewwy sensitive about that.
...because it costs half as much as a speaker of twice the price! :-)

Makes the Wilson speakers look cheap at 195k.

I'd be surprised if they sold any of those. Very poor price/performance.
It's "music to their ears!"

"I'd be surprised if they sold any of those. Very poor price/performance."
Nonsense. Remember they are,"cast in bronze, silver and 18ct gold for better amplification".
That's all right then!
