hmmm 12-15k ?
I am afraid that would be too much for me.
One of the major appeals of Shunyata, to me at least, has been top notch performance at reasonable price points. 12-15k would IMHO depart from this philosophy.
Even if there are certainly people who would be willing to pay this amount because I don’t doubt that the performance will be outstanding.
When I can I avoid buying from brands such as Audioquest or Crystal Cable because I see the price of their high end stuff as outrageous. They are exploiting the desire for perfection of elder man having saved money throughout their lives without obvious ways to spend it and I am not even sure they are delivering performance that is close to matching the amount they charge.
I see Shunyata at a very different position in the market. Real science and performance and a reak effort not to over charge.
I am sure that the Everest was complex to design and isn’t cheap to manufacture but 3 times the cost of the Denali would be disappointing to me at least.
Now of course they charge whatever they want. I am just describing my perception.
Cheers,
Bernard
