 why no manufacturer has tried to resurrect these speakers. Cost obviously.
Engineering and manufacturing complexity too. Still ... there's gotta be
a market.

 I guess people cannot afford the IRS because they just pay too much in taxes.........

 Don't pay much in taxes.

People who HAVE money have little need to EARN money and the government mostly taxes EARNED INCOME.

 "People who HAVE money have little need to EARN money and the government mostly taxes EARNED INCOME."

This is a point that many "tax the rich" activists grossly overlook...... "Tax the rich" is in actuality "tax those trying hardest to become rich".............

 Taxing ALL sources on income the same, be they interest, dividends or capital gains, would be a good start.

And treat it all as earned income for Social Security and Medicare 'tax' purposes with NO ceiling or upper limit on contributions.

Health care for all solved.

Not much of a fan of the 'wealth tax' but might support finding a way to tax the proceeds of borrowing against assets, as that's how the rich generate the funds necessary to enjoy being rich without paying much if any taxes.

 the predictable class warfare whining at the door when the topic is audio gear?

Arnie's design evolved into the Genesis Prime which is available today for $300k.

And Magico just introduced a $770k speaker called the M9. That should really set off those who covet the wealthy. ;)

 Are you okay with the top 1 percent holding 40 precent of global wealth?
I'm not envious of their wealth.
I'm appalled by it.
I guess we should all just be OK with the "unsuccessful" starving on the streets.

 Todd was merely making a pun on IRS(the speakers) and taxes.

 You are the one that was whining about Todd's post that you totally misconstrued and turned it into a class rant.

 I miss the old "Outside Asylum"......

When people decide to go political in an audio or music discussion, I used to suggest the discussion move to that board.......
