I was at a show several years ago showing original Quads. A gentlemen comes into my room and asks the price. I tell him $5K/pair. He looks at me with amazement and asks really?
Being from the midwest and someone on the frugal side of the equation I thought to myself am I asking too much?
The guy goes on to tell me that he was just down the hall listening to a pair of $20K speakers and the Quads simply destroyed them. He felt they should be selling for much more than $5K.
I have had this experience more than once at shows. Given their performance most people think they should cost much more. And our room is generally standing room only for most of the show.

Of course it is. Hard to hide great sound. I suspect if the Quads had a higher WAF many more people would be luxuriating in their sound.
The interesting thing is that my Kented US. Monitors are the only speaker I have ever had that my wife will actually sit down and listen to.
Shows are funny things. Generally Sunday is slow and a lot of exhibitors start packing up early afternoon because they have no traffic in their room.
Not in our room SRO right until the end show even on Sunday. We have to chase everyone out and tell them to come back next year. Or better yet buy the show speakers and take them home!
