Furniture that makes sound.
Think about it. There are better sounding speakers (at least more accurate, I have never heard a Paragon) that cost less than a Paragon. By many accounts, it is not the best sounding speaker in the $30K range. If sound reproduction was the only criteria, why would somebody buy a Paragon if not for the aesthetic appeal?
Cars are out, let's try guns.

There's an old revolver, it was carried by the Northwest Mounted Police - The Mounties! It's listed at $4500. OK, so it's obviously a much superior firearm to this $1299 pistol

It's less than 1/3rd the cost, must be inferior, right? Why would anybody buy the inferior SOTA $1299 pistol when the vastly superior $4500 antique revolver exists?
Do you really think anybody shelling out $4500 for that old revolver is buying it because it is a superior firearm the a Sig Sauer P226 Legion? No, they are buying it because it is a rare and iconic trinket that also shoots.
At any rate, I'm done trying to reason with you. Trying to explain the value of art to someone who doesn't appreciate art is an exercise in futility.
