It's like a professional violinist spending... how much would you guys consider ridiculous? Some people spend millions for the best like how we spend thousands for the best
My friend, at least it's better than beats!

 
Yep. I'd definitely rather have to buy audiophile headphone gear than best-of-breed violins. Strads and Guarneris aren't cheap. You could get a lot of $$$$ headphones, a few nice cars, and even a house for what you'd pay for one of those instruments.

Talking about luthiers makes me think of Amati, and talking about Amati makes me think about the lead from Gunslinger Girls.
 
You know you're an anime lover when every single conversation leads to a show reference in one way or another.

My old school had decent speakers in the important areas. Mostly JBLs. Cheapo Skytec rubbish in the classrooms though. There was some sweet vintage stuff in the music dept though. Pair of Rogers BBC monitors, etc.

JBL..... meh
I don't like 'em too much. I prefer RCF and EV

YKYAAW...after hearing the original hocus pocus by focus, followed by the cover by helloween (meanwhile coming from a basshead background) the idea of Dream Theater covering it with Mike Mangini makes you twinge like no other
