    If you heard them twice and didn't like them I would trust your own ears, you have heard more speakers than most!

    £3M speakers?

    Did you guys see their ad in Hi-fi Choice this week? They're offering a pair of £3,000,000 small Tannoy DCs.

    They put a stupid price tag on them to attract the rich stupid cocksuckers who know no better than offer them at wild discounts to make them look attractive. It's a sales trick called 'price norming' where you increase the apparent worth of an item above it's realistic value by starting out with a ridiculously high MSRP, estimate etc. Loads of companies do it.

    They also sounded absolutely shit when I heard them at the show, just bloody awful boomy.

    As for the pricing, I bet Kuzma, Weiss, EAR and Focal have a fair pricing policy! obviously every other companies are ripping people off. Well until you change your gears to something else eh?
