idk. there has to be dozens of options that aren't $2k. theres just no way a pair of single driver, wireless powered speakers could ever be "worth" $2k. fwiw i used to be in audiophile stereo sales and have a high threshold for tolerating high-end gear being "worth it."

They're powered so factor that in. No need for an external amp or streamer.

Well, you can turn any passive speakers into wireless speakers you just have to buy the equipment (the amp, usually a separate streamer but these days some amps have that built in). But then you need to match the amp to the speakers, you have added bulk, etc. That's why you don't compare powered speakers to passive speakers.

You're OP said "thats an absurd price for a pair of single driver bookshelf speakers" - most of these are not powered.

in reference to a pair of wireless powered speakers.

the amp inside of them could not possible account for the cost.
