"Klipsch's Palladium series: The BMW of speakers"
That is not really a good praise for any good, actually.
IŽd rather have the "Mercury", "Buick", or whathever else BUT generic german design. Not for me, thank you very much.

Those two, specially, are trying too hard being so grey and aesthetically correct [to what the usual standards are]. They are like all those metal kitchens, or chairs, or coffee-tables, or...

I'd rather have a pair of Sonus Faber Cremona M at $12.8k
Dom Perignon? More like Mumms. The Sonus Amati's would be even better, let along their flagship Stradivari. Then again the Stradivari at a staggering $45k might not be a "bargain".

I think they look great, and more importantly will likely sound amazing. Bleech can keep his rusted out American made automobile and Kirkland brand Costco speakers - Quiet Riot doesn't really require top notch speakers to listen to anyway.

Thinking about speakers like these provoked this random thought: if there are speakers this high in quality and price, would it really be beneficial for what it's advertised for? I mean, I would be wondering if studios themselves use speakers and headphones of this caliber, and if most artists even think about their music being played by these other than in clubs or something. And I'd also imagine that the performance per dollar trend for these speakers would be more skewed towards the dollar amount (the plateaued end of the trend in other words)... But one can dream of speakers like these, right?
