    Damn..... those speakers could squish my ML Summits.... both physically and financially.

    But, I bet they sound AMAZING! I'm jealous!

    Now where did I hide that $50K?

    How large are these compared to say the B&W 802D speakers? Those only weight around 170-180 lbs.

    They look huge!!

    For 90K, I heard that German Physiks makes amazing speakers.

    I bet they have quite the sound. For $90k they should sound BETTER than live. :)

    On the Flip side, they are not attractive speakers at all. For $90k they should look nice in an evening gown or thong.


    I think that the pictures are helping. They really are quite good looking in person. Well I've seen the smaller tower version of this though. Beautiful finish and I think the design is one of it's standpoints...in a postive way.

    seem to be definitly taller. I'm pretty sure Sid said these things way about 500lb a piece. The add says 1500 shipping weight, but I'm sure the extra 250 lbs a pice is hard packing and whatnot.
