That's what I was wondering, as that amount in USD (or EUR/GBP etc) seems like a ridiculous amount of money to spend on speakers, even to me, a well off US-ian.

Uh.. while my comment was firmly tongue in cheek I don’t think you realise how ridiculous these things can get.

Oh, a budget pair of speakers.

I think the gentleman is looking for something a bit more high class sir.

Thank you. Speakers that weigh more than a few cars and cost more than a nice condo in a major city are exactly what I was looking for.

In the real world it is 15k yen.

That's the price of a Yamaha HS5 and some other speakers in that range.

And yep after that you definitely start getting diminishing returns.
