A stereo system is 37' wide and weighs 4 tons.

My only concern about something like that is because each channel is so large (wide) that it may not sound as uniform as something that expensive should. Impressive, but not worth the money in my opinion.

 

[lexiconthx]

hahaha 146db playback damn thats loud... I think the loudsest I know of is still the Electrovoice xds sub that hit 154db hahah but still crazy. You have to be a moron to pay 1mill for a single speaker.

I couldn't get a prospective but these were well known German made That looked like they unloaded a dozen tractor trailers for some Dead concert and they were in a huge gallery in a cave. The ones like practical with a insane price. I don't see bragging rights with them at that price.

If your HT room has a 40' wide screen, odds are this won't be a problem. Large commercial theaters often use component placement to augment the sound stage in the same way. Highs at the inside, etc. No need for a center speaker.

This setup has got nothing on my 4.0 HTIB I bought 10 years ago for 150 bux.

Go standard Dolby Surround.

I wonder if I get a discount being Swedish and all.....


(as pointed out in one of the links they made by a Swedish company)

I'd love to meet the person that buys them.

She wouldn't be too friendly.

She could also be as fun as Paris Hilton, but hopefully with an IQ of more then 80.

That's being generous, more like 60.

 

[gpmbc]

Damn I'd like to hear that! But then again once corrupted I would never be the same reading is safer.

Do you have to buy them in pairs? I want three for a front stage.

I could retire for that kind of money.

 

[Varrius]

I'd bet that for 1/10 of that price, the speaker designers here could do WAY better for you (like Mr. Seaton).


I'll second the motion on meeting his daughter

In her current state I would accept Paris Hilton. If she were a line cook at burger king and no loaded parents I would have a problem with her...the morning after.

Back to the speakers, I am sure these cost a ton for the makers, but nowhere near the price they are asking. Wonder how many will sell. Will guess less than 10 individual speakers total worldwide.

She wouldn't qualify for that job, or be able to handle it.


I would hope that when you buy these, you get in-home setup and calibration included.
