I was thinking what you would play though it, It would have to be a very good CD player, streamer, Turntable & Reel to Reel. It reminds me of the old computer adage, rubbish in rubbish out. It's not going to make a mp3 file sound any better is it!!
It's only going to be as good as the recorded material.
As you said what loudspeakers can handle that sort of power, I don't know of any.
It's like they say, they wouldn't make it if they couldn't sell it and the way I look at it they are only ripping off the rich & gullible.

It's like the vintage Sennheiser Orpheus and modern HE-1 headphone systems. Both cost tens of thousands. Rich people like to feel important. Although not cheap either, $4000 MySphere 3 takes a dump on both. K1000 costs much less and gives most of the performance of MySphere. Expensive but affordable for those who care enough to save up and can do so.

HFN is generally a well written & interesting mag but I often scratch my head & wonder who their target
readership is. I often feel that it isn't the likes of me.

I can’t remember the last time I looked at a HiFi mag.
I used to buy the What HiFi awards editions when looking for a new bit of kit, but I soon learnt the error of my ways.

I use to buy What HiFi regularly, especially around the time I was looking to up grade and then I'd stop buying it for a while after I'd up graded. I have not bought a HiFi mag for sometime now or even any mags I find them vary expensive and most of the pages are adverts anyway. I sometimes buy the weekly car mags but only if there is something of interest to me. I find that most HiFi mags seem to review high end stuff now a days Ok if you like reading about stuff you'll only ever afford if you win the lottery. I can read about high end HiFi online for free. I have to wonder who buys an amp costing $2.2m or for that matter 2 or 3 hundred thousand pounds and as I said it's only going to be good as the recorded material that's played thought it. Talking good recordings as any of you ever listen to a Reel-to-Reel tape, another thing that's expensive if you buy pre recorded tape

I still buy HFN and feel good about my own spending when I read about the very high prices. Some good articles in every issue. Also I like their vintage gear reviews.

But back to topic the high end gear is incredibly expensive.
