Saw this on another forum and though the group here would enjoy:

Too bad you can't buy some common sense .

Every one of them is aesthetically unappealing (read UGLY).

lol some of them u need a stadium for it seems

 

[j_garcia]

LOL. My comment on the other forum was that I could get past ugly if they sounded exceptional. For the price of some of those though, they better sound better than live... I should be able to smell the venue or recording studio.

That would really bother my neighbors. Hmmm, I wonder where I can get those.

Is it just me, or do those Platinum Audio Air Pulse 3.1 Reference look like giant whistles mounted sideways? I bet my wife would love the looks of those in the living room, she can barely tolerate the Axioms

Those speakers look like a minibar with wine racks.

 

[stratman]

Nasty, for some of the money these companies want I'd be buying exotic cars left and right!

 

[Gasman]

Wow, I only have one word for those in the list.

ThosearefreekingUGLY.

Some nice art objects. That $108k audio note is plain jane
Wonder how they sound and measure.

 

[mtrycrafts]

Too bad you can't buy some common sense .

That is even more expensive or even priceless.

 

[stratman]

Agreed, in today's society, as you said....priceless!

I think one thing that goes without saying is that sadly enough there's probably a bunch of them that wouldnt make it on a list called "42 of the worlds BEST speakers"

Good point. Also, sadly, there aren't many (if any) of us that will ever get a chance to find out!

What does the law of diminishing returns say about a million dollar speaker?
Do you have to spend seven million for an improvement in sound quality?
Will it make your 8-tracks sound like a million bucks?
Apparently, a million bucks doesn't get you room treatments, either.

I'd argue that the Rockports on there are some of the best, at least judging by the measurements and reviews I've seen.

I like that Tomorrow thanked you yesterday. That's cool.
