The speakers he has costs $26k! (I am not sure but I think that is each). Alas I don't remember the name of them, but they were HUGE, and ultra high quality. He said they were among the best in the world for the price, but went on to mention that there were others even better... (!!!!!)
Still, I think he said they were one of the top 3 best speakers.

I'll see if I can get the name of the brand from him...

He says they are called Ariel Acoustics, 20T models. New they list at $28k a pair.
But he mentioned another company (West---something) that has new speakers listed at $40k a pair.

He says Klipsch and others in the same range are not high end.. in his opinion. And by that I think he means compared to his speakers.

He's right, the only Klipsch that are in his class are the larger Klipschorns, and the new Paladium speakers.
