I do not understand this. It would be cheaper to hire a band to play the music, or rent out some studio time to use their speakers. I suppose if the individual can truly hear a difference, and he or she can afford it, more power to them.

There is a real "emperors new clothes" possibility here. That you want to think it sounds better because it costs more, but there is no difference in sound. People like James Randi are calling out some products (not this guy's speakers) that make extraordinary claims regarding their products.

Clearly these are for consumers with money to burn and senses so superhuman that they can distinguish between sound pumped through ridiculously expensive cables and regular old unshielded speaker wire.

The answer is that these people are looking for something other than audio quality. Since what they are after is not sound quality then there is no limit. If they were interested in audio quality rather than listening in their living room they would do their listening in a sound room which has no furniture and has "eggcrates" on the walls.

Buy a pair of good ear phones and be done with it. Most if not all of this super high end junk is just that, junk.
