That's why I didn't quote you.
Still boring though!

Few years ago on TV a program about benefit fraud mentioned two foreigners one a Nigerian woman who had claimed over 1M in housing benefit fraud - she was claiming for a rake of properties she didn't own. The other was a bloke. Cannot remember if he was Nigerian as well, anyway, he had some really flash pad, with all the gadgets - including as set of them B & O speakers. Neither of them appeared to be living here. |

Actually Jerry they aren't that big. Not one whole hellava lot bigger than yours are. In all honesty they are good speakers but I don't think they are worth the retail price. Yours represent much better value for money. The Xtremes are big. |

Well, if I were David I wouldn't want to downsize to a mere £20k, either!
There's a few folks here in that position, for whom £20k would be a sideways move at best.

That may be the case Jerry, but as I said before, it's a hypothetical question. In the case of those people, entering into the spirit of it would provide an interesting insight into what designs might provide a reasonable compromise.
It was meant to be a bit of fun in a time when all around us is bad news.

My speakers retail for £75k so I am not slumming it for anyone LOL I have heard Davids speakers at his (old) shop in Huddersfield, but to be honest, and considering the cost of the partnering equipment, I was not overly impressed. For a mere £44,500 I would opt for a pair of Acapella Audio Campanile speakers. I heard a pair driven by 833a valve amps in someones front room (yes really !) and I was captivated. It's OT because of the price but I'm bored and needed to post something (anything).  www.audioaffair.co.uk/acapella-campanile-mkiii-speakers-pair |

Ah well, if you want my ultimate ....  A trifle over £20k, though, I think. $263k and 3600lb. |

I'd have some Audio Note AN-J-SE Silvers, high gloss finish.
Let me know when I can spend 20K on the amp please :-)

I think I'd go for a nice set of TAD or Wilson speakers, not sure which ones or whether or not I would get new or used though.
