Anyone have $20k laying around?

Saw these in Maxim today, only 1,000 made. For $20,000 my ears better have an orgasm when listening.

So who here has em? Thoughts, opinions?

 

they are big, but no way, 20,000 dollars has a much better way to be spent

 

I had seen ads for them before, but never realized they cost twenty-large... WOW!

 

Well quite the bargain when compared to the Wilson Alexandria's at $135,000 a pair. Truly the pinnacle of high-end audio. Literally the Bugatti Veyron of speaker systems

Same here, They have had a full page add in Forza for a long time.

 

would love to hear those in person

 

I've met Dave Wilson before, he is a really nice guy. He used to drive a 355 but now he has a gorgeous 550 Maranello.

 

Next time you see him let him know that while his speakers sound good, they don't look all that good (IMO)

 

Does Dave Wilson have a "Puppy"???

 

Those things are ridiculously ugly.

I dont usually listen to speakers with my eyes. Sound is heard. And they sound very good.

 

Do any old fans of racing have hearing left that is able to discern such delicate frequencies?

 

Between this and other "high end" sound systems (maybe Bang and Olfsen, Harmon and Kardon or Bose) can you realistically tell the difference?? I would think that you would need Supermans hearing in order to tell the slight differences in the different brands. I have Bose in my car, Harmon and Kardon for home system and they both sound really incredible!! They both have incredible clarity and surround sound and the home system is like no other!! Both systems come nowhere near $135k large... The slight differences aint worth $135k IMO.... (not even close)

 

and my wife can't tell the difference between a ferrari, lamborghini and a Zo6. Nuff said! you don't have to have supermans hearing, just well trained hearing.

 

At $135k/pair of speakers he should soon be driving an Enzo, no?

 

Why I just happen to have $20,000 right here in my pocket...

 

If he sells a few more sets, he will be driving his own P5/6 (take that Jim )!

 

If I had 20K I would drop the TR off for belt service and go on vacation.

 

If you cant hear the difference between the limited frequency response of garbage manufactured by Bose and full range frequency reproduction by Wilson audio, Magnepan, B&W and other high end manufacturers, then you dont need to spend the money, anything will do.

Its the same way with cars. They all have 4 wheels and there is no difference between a Ford 500 and a Ferrari Enzo. They both will get you from point A to point B and back again. A car is a car.
