Re: [motm] So you think MOTM is expensive?

First time I've seen this CMS stuff.   It's fun to look at the panel 
designs, which are clearly well thought out.  Interesting how the mixers 
are integrated.  Yes, with those prices all that marketing blather about 
the sound quality is to be expected.  It's just like the "high end" 
audio spiel.  Somebody will always pay 10 times as much to get the 
supposed top end.  I hope they spend equivalently on their monitor 
speakers, because, after all, the sound of an electronic instrument is 
*produced* by a speaker, not reproduced.  The sound quality can be no 
better than the speakers or headphones can deliver.

I wonder what sort of business model CMS has.  They couldn't have much 
stock sitting on the shelves and have any money left in the bank unless 
they were independently wealthy to begin with.  Imagine going to the 
banker with this business plan!  "To build the most expensive modular 
synthesizer in the world and market it to wealthy people who need 
synthesizers."  Please lend us $1,000,000.
