just sticker shock

....like most folks who own a car for 7-8 years and then wander into a new car dealership only to see a newer version of their car going for double/triple their original cost.

Not to give Magnepan any ideas but their 30x @ $55K seems like peanuts compared to the Wilson Chronosonic @ $300K

I had the opportunity to hear brand new MG 20.1 and Wilson Audio Alexandria's (both company's flagships at the time) side by side at my dealer back in 2002, the 20's were going for around (I think) $15K, the Alexandria's North of $100K. Not gonna say which one sounded better, both had their unique signature sound but if I had to pick one it would've easily taken the Maggies hands down and used the remaining $85K on gear.

I'm guessing almost 25 years later the margins for each company's flagships are still on par with today's flagships.
