The 16" woofer in the $180,000 Focal Grande Utopia EM uses a field coil instead of permanent magnet.

Is that why they cost $180K?

No, that's because speaker manufactures are crooks.

Why, you could get an Aston Martin for that.

That is my point, you should be put on a list if you can afford to buy them speakers, and someone should come around every day with pictures of starving homeless children and kick you in the shins while you look at the pictures.... lol... I'm just jealous, I want them because they have that cool cranky tool that moves them around... I thought I was special because my speakers came with a pair of white gloves, but I didn't get any tools, not even an allen wrench to put the plinths together... I suck.........................

Oh, I got this anonymous letter in the mail from CA. It had an article about audiophiles going deaf listening to their speakers. Thought it was you.
