Obviously you are both passionate about audio and have the means to delve into equipment others only dream about. I can probably also accurately surmize that you both are very knowledgeable on the subject. I never even heard (auditioned) a speaker in the price range you guys own or are about to own, but I have to question whether or not you both have surpassed the point of diminishing returns from an auditory perspective. This is not a post to slight anyone, please let that be clear, but I have a difficult time in accepting that the cost justifies the end result.

Hi John,

Yes, we are lunatics; in my case, I hope this is a 1 time purchase and as a result of inheritance, otherwise..... Also, if what I am understanding to be the case of the speakers that I am expecting to purchase, my price is a no brainer for their performance, but I will confirm that when I hear them. So for the price that I will pay, it is not a question of diminishing returns since these will cost me about the same as much less expensive speakers in many a line. High End speakers, like many other high end products frequently have a 10X mark-up of their parts costs.
