HiFiMan

Bowers & Wilkins B&W 802 Diamond Loudspeaker
in a Rosenut Finish, $15,000.00 / pr.

HiFiMan is really entering the marginal arena.

Unlike iFi (though iFi may have used utilized nano-scale on their circuits to joke), HiFiMan have produced a true nano device, with the thinness of their Susvara Headphones ($6,000.00 USD) less than 1µm.

Marginal ala Economics.



With a $15,000.00 USD Dynamic (Non-Electrostatic) Headphone Amplifier and a $6,000.00 USD phone, that's luxury.

You could mount it (upper-luxury) vertically in place of a cappuccino machine, with the power supply in the Kitchen cupboard cabinet (like a HW VPI). (In the manner of an AudioNet Heisenberg et. et.)

This is really saying they are for an upper-luxury class (above Stax) or that they are saying that now people (we) believe that headphones are now equivalent to speakers.

A previous generation would have used a $15,000.00 speaker (like our recommended B&W 802 Diamond 2) with a $6,000.00 USD amplifier (Classe CTM).

Musician: How much would you spend on your ligature?
