I have to wonder if one were to spend $45,000 on the top of the line Vandersteen how soon the same flagship envy would set in. How close is the Model 9 and how much more will it cost? The fact that it will be bigger means the only upgrade path would be a trade in. If it cost twice as much it would be so far out of the question for most of us it almost doesn't matter. Sure will be interesting to follow though. That guy knows how to build a speaker.
