BTW, in case anybody isn't aware, those Marten speakers above have a retail price of something close to $500k. They have taken the title of "world's most expensive speaker" away from the previous Coltrane Supreme which was something like $360k. Who buys these things?
The Magico Ultimate is $600k.Political Correctness'.........defined

Well, shucks, I was wrong. I was misled by some misinformed website.
I actually just found this:

Apparently, these Martens are way down the list

I hope those people that are profanely rich & buy $100,000 speakers,
are also giving $100,000 to their favorite charities too.
sorry about the political statement, but my moral conscience had to say that. -

I wouldn't call that political. However, charity does begin at home, and if I am not happy with my stereo I will not feel like helping others.

more pics please of everybody else's high end stuff
my gear is only "entry" level audiophile stuff.
I like to keep my P/E(price/earnings) ratios low with my equipment, my P/A(price/audiophile value) ratios include stuff like: Polk Lsi15's, Inifinity Kappa 7.1, Music Hall a70.2, etc. -
Folks with high net worth are generally very charitable if for no other reason than the tax benefits.
More high-end? Eight-track!

Good catch Jesse, I'd say ole' pfb's liquid cash is starting to dry up. My guess is that he has had an inheritance, or an insurance payout, or maybe even has hit some kind of lottery winnings.
Regardless of how he came into a bundle, it won't be long..."a fool and his money"... Maybe then we won't have to tolerate any more of his "Hey, look at me, I've just spent 10k on a pair of cables" threads. -
so wait is that his or is not his?Just a bit curious snice posting a rigg from ebay is quite funny.

Three available, kind of doubt this is PFB private stock. -
Isn't this the DAC that PFB had sold, and UPS screwed him out of $4000. ??? http://www.ebay.com/itm/PS-Audio-perfectwave-DAC-MK2-wifi-bridge-and-ps-audio-transport-/321291848923?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ace7c8cdb
Looks to me like it's still for sale, maybe he has two or three of these to sell also. -
