and $200,000 speakers, - you'd probably want a pretty good amp stand to bring out their best, as well as good speaker cables, and interconnects.
Of course, that is the retail price, which most everyone does not pay. And, if you didn't want to pay a good deal less, then you'd have the option, (as was clear), of getting a few, (cheaper), models down.
High performance comes at a high price.
Why are you holding up the audio industry to any higher standards than are in effect for other luxury item, high performance, industries?
Do you rant about the prices of Lamborghinis?
What is "bullshit" is people who make comments on a price of something that no one pays, (and then makes assumptions and judgments), without any knowledge or any experience. I have heard Joe's isolation components and they are far from "bullshit." I characterize that kind of term to mean that there is zero difference, and that is not the case.

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
