You may be right, but for some of us (say, in houses infested with small children) it's the best audio option we have.

I agree the stands are expensive, but a big part of the value for me would lie in the small overall system footprint when used with a Headroom amp/dac. Forget the Harbeths and the outboard amps, just add some decent active monitors and you're styling.
