[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8860398, member: 674149"] I know I've said this before, and I have searched and couldn't find it, but I swear the reason they have those asinine prices is because some professional athlete, I want to say a football player, was on the cover of a magazine bragging about how he spent... IIRC it was $88K on his system. It was all critical mass. It wasn't some ridiculous amount of speakers either. I want to say this was some time in the 90s. I want to say it was about $2-$3k worth of equipment at the time, and the loudmouth football player (IIRC he was known for it) just got screwed over by the shop. As in they charged him an $85K markup. After that CM raised the prices to something ridiculous which some are still trying to do.. It's not that it's complete crap, it was average at the time, maybe a little better, but that one idiot drove the prices up for scumbag dealers that are willing to profit off it. I can almost picture it. I want to say it was a convertible bentley, or maybe a convertible rolls royce. I can almost picture the big bubble shape with the top down. [/QUOTE]
