    3 Million! No problem. Let's see if I can calculate that. In the tax bracket I'm in it would probably take me three to five thousand years to save enough money there to buy these. For others it's only a mater of a few years of such savings? lol

    I really wish they had a "rhodium" version of those!!

    I have those exact drivers sitting in my spare driver pile, I'll sell them for $4,000,000. :cheesygrin:

    And 97db/w is total male bovine excrement. Maybe 92, 93.

    Gold enclosure is bogus. I don't actually think of them as expensive speakers as it's only the gold that raises the price. It's like those "world's most expensive martini" which is just a top shelf drink with a diamond or other precious stone in the bottom.

    " 47Hz- 37Khz (+-4db & 39Hz-47Khz +- 10db)".

    Managed to save $2,999,950 with a pair of R15's that were 15hz-48Khz, +- 30db, so eat your heart out, Hart Audio !
