Price: $685,000 per pair.At $15k I'll just buy the band.
They are $685,000 per pair I don't know how much rare metals must be needed to make it, or something?

While they probably sound amazing, this is likely a case of them pricing them that high just because they can.Price: $685,000 per pair.

Audiophiles can be a crazy bunch, some will pay insane amounts of money for equipment just because of it's name or that it's rare and different.
While I do have a lot of money tied up in audio equipment (probably not nearly as much as Barron Mudflap), I am too cheap to pay insane prices for stuff. Some of mine I either built or bought used. EX: I posted here some months ago that I got my dream speakers, a pair of vintage Klipsch. But I bought them used from a guy who's wife dumped him and he had to liquidate, and got them right.
Yeah, that's it. Once you get to a certain level of quality, the rule of diminishing returns kicks in. The degree of improvement becomes slight, no matter how much money you pay.nah.... My most expensive gear is a 'b-stock' NAD Amp. I've had it for about 15 years.... that and my Canton speakers (same age).
total for all of that was about $2500... because they were last year's models.
There's no reason to spend crazy money on audio gear. The higher the price, typically, the sound might be better.... but to what degree?
Car stereos have come a long way. I got into installing car stereos back when I was a teenager; even the best cars came with crappy radios. That was my first business, per se; I had an agreement with several Radio Shacks who would refer their customers who bought car stereos to me to install them. I continued to play around with car audio for a long time. Last one I installed was in my golf cart. LOLMy ears used to be good... like my grandparent's and aunt's, I now have ringing in my ears, so I no longer appreciate the nuanced sound a high end speaker may provide.
Reminds me of a friend whose goal was to have a hot sports car (Ferrari, Lamborghini, ect) before he was 30 because he saw that too many only could afford them when they no longer had the skill to actually drive one. That was in the 80's when there were not as many choices of cars.
Now there are many speakers, that sound really good, for a reasonable amount of money, that people can afford while they still are young.
Technology has made excellent cars and speakers available to the common man.
