Stereophile's Products of the Year 2021

Stereophile has published it's products of the year 2021 in several
categories.

The loudspeaker of the year is the Magico A5 at $24800.
3 reviewers chose the Wilson Chronosonic XVX at $329,000 as their personal
choice for product of the year.
2 reviewers chose the Klipsch Forte IV at $4500 as their personal choice
for product of the year.
1 reviewer chose a version of the KEF LS50 as his personal choice.

So, is the Wilson, at nearly 14 times the price, that much better than
the Magico? And is the Magico, at 5.5 times the price, that much better
than the Klipsch? And is the KEF, at one-third the price of the Klipsch,
merely chopped liver? Is price an indicator of anything in this hobby?

Do people who buy big Wilsons even listen to them, or are they mere status
symbols?
