The items in that catalogue that really grind my gears are the Wilson Audio TuneTot speakers.

Now, let me clarify, Wilson make some great speakers so I'm sure they sound superb - I cannot say as I've not heard them. However, you pay £11,500 for a par of small 2-way speakers and then you then have the choice of paying an EXTRA £398 for grilles or £850 for some metal trim rings to hide the bass driver fixing screws if you don't want the grilles.

And the icing on the cake - the trim rings introduce a resonance in the frequency response at about 3kHz!
