The Vox Olympians, designed for superyachts, are crafted in England by a company called Living Voice. They're made with some materials you know are good, like gold, silver and bronze, and some that sound like they're good, like tellurium, beryllium and alnico. Each pair takes 1,400 man-hours to make.
The cheapest they run is £210,000, about $328,700, which is outrageously expensive, even compared to the run-of-the-mill ultra-rich-person-gear you normally come across. But if I had a boatload of money, buying speakers that were as good for looking at as they were for listening to would probably something I'd consider.
Wow thats expensive

ReplyDeletebest speaker ever. i bet they get pissed when they blow a speaker!
ReplyDeleteI must say, that those speakers have a very legitimate look to them, however I care to listen to the sound quality in real life as well. Maybe someday I will go back to philly and check out those speakers.
