That website is an example of how ludicrous the ultra high dollar audio gear can get.I have rarely,if ever heard a high dollar(over 100k$) system consistently engage me in musical joy without distracting artificial abberations.I have met in person with Chris Moon, proprietor of higherfi in Sarasota and listened to a system with ntt speakers(like wilson) i believe and mentioned to my assistant afterward that that system sells for around 500k and it was "higherfi" but not the least bit musically engaging for me.I have put together systems from 1k-5k that most music lovers would consider far more realistic,natural and engaging, satisfying musically.
However Chris Moon is a professional buisiness man who formerly owned a pro studio in Minnesota which recorded the artist formerly known as Prince.I consigned several items in the 5 figure price range to him in the past and he is no bs,effective and professional.Further he told me about a non-profit program he and his family run to search for american MIA's and return their remains for closure for the families.So Romy,i think your post is spot on.Is that for real that story about wilson dealer who does faulty setup offers day in strip club?? Bizarre ! Be funny if it was not so tragic.
