Cost of Acoustics

A pair of these B&W Nautilus speakers cost $60,000! Pretty pricey, but they didn't even make it to the list of most expensive speakers! I wonder if human ears can sense the difference between say, a decent $5K system and a $60K system.  May be our urge for gaining social status through acquiring exquisite paraphernalia, and the design of the shell, have more to do with this exorbitant price tag than superior sound reproduction.

Gopa, in their bid to get more and more exclusive, people _drum_ up unusual stuff and since There's a sucker born every minute, some folks end up laughing all the way to the bank.
