A snip at only $192,000......the world's most expensive speakers, unless you know differently.

Ballerina optional.

Acapella triolon excalibur. Quite the multilingual name. Maybe the translation from Latin, Latin, Finnish and Greek would be "As in chapel thrice being from steel".

Synthy,

With its pants on, it looks like a Dalek in mourning.

Ha! That's great. You win, you win. At least I usually listen with my eyes closed.

Sorry, not a word of finnish in that name. I have hear smaller Acapellas and would gladly take them to my home any day (my wife would probably disagree here). They wipe the floor with most high-end speakers of the world.

Synthy,
I confess: I am envious of those big honkin' bass cones. I suspect they sound quite beautiful "in the dusk, with the light behind 'er".

Welcome to Canada where we differentiate ourselves from the US by being not entirely American, only sort of, eh? And I hope you all enjoyed our recent "coup-de-tête" (pun: whacko/change of government).

Even more expensive speakers than those mentioned above have come to light, double the price, I'm sure all readers here will be relieved to know:

I rather like this pair... but see the freak-show at: http://gtob.sdnews.com.cn/yuedu.sdnews.com.cn/2008/8/20/651155.html (including the $380,700 Sphäron excaliburs).
