Just curious on which companies also make a 80-90,000 dollar speaker...

My Dad and I want to hear.....

JM Lab Grande Utopia
Wilson Audio X-1
Avalon Sentinel(sp)
Who else makes a near comparable speaker for around the same price?

Just curious...

    Sid,

    I like my tunes as well as the next guy ... and believe it or not I could write check for a set of speakers like that and not have it phase my brokerage accounts all that much ... but I'm not going to ... so in that regard I could care less.

    Sid,

    Fine ... have at it ... a couple more hours of listening at the levels you mentioned and neither of you will be able to tell the difference between a good set of speakers and a rhino in heat ...

    Like PW said, listening at those levels you are going deaf... (Sustained beyond 85dB according to OSHA)
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Uh, it's a bit cummulative since I doubt your giving yourself enogh time to "heal" in between sessions (based on the number of reviews and comments). It's not like you can do that to your ears, rest ten minutes and the clock starts over.

    I hope, for your sake, that when you get your sub, you turn the total volume down a bit since you'll still be able to feal the music.

    Sid, don't you have some homework to do or something?

    Maybe build a model car? Ride a bike? Experiment with gateway drugs? Monkey around with your privates? SOMETHING?
