What is this

[shadyJ]

How about a million a piece https://www.cnet.com/news/the-1000000-speaker/ Must be the Koenigsegg of speakers or something.....

I don't think that one counts since I don't believe they have ever manufactured a single example. I think it's just a concept. If they ever made it, it would be an awful speaker, a comb-filtering nightmare. That isn't a product, it's just a press release stunt.

For the low, low price of a quarter million dollars, you can own a pair of 6 foot black penises! You will be the "envy" of all your friends! (and yes, this is a real product)

Quarter of a million for a 2.5 way speaker? It's one ugly MF'er too. It'll be a dark day for mankind if they ever sell a single one of those.

I guess its not the Koenigsegg of speakers then . Didn't MBL put out a million dollar set?

Yeah, Denon/JBL sounding better by the post!

Christ, I had no idea about that. Just learning about it is making me sick. They don't need to list the price; if you have to ask, you can't afford. You are probably paying a six-figure upcharge just for the badge. That is a loudspeaker that has nothing to do with audio.

Yeah that is completely over the top. Just ridiculous to be honest. Ugly as all hell. This is this hobby going off the rails.

Why is this "Ugly as all Hell"?
Like anything else in life there will always be "excess"

I think the speaker itself is very ugly.

I don't think the speaker itself is ugly, but I think everything else about it is vulgar. It actually reminds me of some of the older Kharma speakers which I think were some of the nicest looking speakers ever made. Here are some examples of what I am talking about:

Very simple, beautiful cabinets. Nearly perfect industrial speaker design, in my opinion. Kharma would later ruin this aesthetic by making the cabinets a lot busier, but these models from the mid 2010s were really gorgeous in my opinion. I really can't think of any speaker that I think looks nicer.

You can get it in the same color scheme as your Chiron!

Not that I consider the current Bugattis particularly good looking.....Koenigsegg has them beat on the aesthetic I think....

Rest assured, they are doing well.

I'd agree with you, Koenigsegg's are more aesthetically pleasing to my eye.

Wow, just wow. Isn't it amazing just how high end things can get. I mean for that price I couldn't even list what I would expect on a daily basis.

I’m sure most the rich elites don’t even care enough about audio to buy them ...
Sadly only millionaires can afford such speakers ...

Impressive but out of reach forever for me ....
some speakers cost millions .
Modern “slave masters” or CEO’s can afford them that’s about it . World is a sad place !! And celebs

12 of the world's most expensive loudspeakers

There's no harm in a little window-shopping...

Ultra High end audio is still beautiful..
