Fairly certain: I'll never be faced with the problem.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They look like Buddha's speakers
All the best,

I would never buy anything that fugly. Looks like something an oil sheik would buy. Probably cheap drivers in a solid gold frame. What a tragedy.
|
Can't be all that without panels or ribbons.
|
Very strange thread title...
Those speakers have been around for a while. I read about them a couple of years ago.
|
Yeah that article must be old. The British pound and the US dollar are 1/1 now.
|
Ugly and ridiculous. No one should have enough wealth to be able to throw it away on this junk.
|
Exhibit #23:
”…The FBI took the tanks and flapper assemblies back with them to Quantico for analysis…”
|
I tried them but they clashed with the curtains in my apartment. I sent them back and exchanged them with the 315k silver pair.
WAF has increased, but as we all know, silver can be a bit on the bright side of neutral. Think I’m going to put an equalizer in the chain to tame the top end.
|
for that amount of money they ought to offer holographic imaging independent of listener position, as well as be able to reproduce a CLEAN 16 cycles at 110+ db. also they should offer a uniform 8 ohm load and produce a full acoustic watt in a large listening room using just the maximum output of a typical SET amp.
|
|
Those look like something you would see in a '70's hair solon.
|
I have the Silver editions in my garage system. They sound okay, but I’m sure the Gold ones sound 4.6 million dollars better.
Sheesh
|
The thread title is indeed odd @Roxy54... and so is the article's title "Most expensive 5 million dollar speaker".
I wonder what the least expensive 5 million dollar speaker looks like?
|
You would have to have a serious mental problem to buy these ,
invest-in gold save your money, as a speaker I can think of many speakers
far better under $20 k
|
Certainly one of the ugliest speakers I've seen.
Looks like a golden turd perched on a bar stool.
Hifi for the stupid rich. 😉
|
The article is a complete turd. No way these are actual speakers. The author can barely write in full sentences. Do they go down to 16 Hz or 47Hz because you contradict yourself! Moving on. I can’t believe the OP even bothered to post this. Very odd.
|
Anyone else notice that company Hart uses Tannoy Dual Concentric drivers?
|
Trying to remember where I saw these? Read an article about them. Someone had “bought” them, but didn’t pay for them. I think they were either in a tower in Manhattan, or at some private club in Florida somewhere. Strange thing is, they were practically invisible - camouflaged - as they were surrounded by other equally tasteless items…
|
+1 @parker65310
47Hz is not impressive at all. My stand mounts go down to 30 or so and are way cheaper.
|
@souljasmooth you are correct they are bog standard Tannoy Dual Concentrics. My friend had a pair of Hart speakers (not these obviously) for a while. They always sounded honky in the midrange and bass was very dry, not my cup of tea at all.
|
Well you see they haven't been actually produced as of yet. They're waiting for the first buyer with $5 million to start production. Any takers?
|
You would have to hire new staff just to keep them polished.
|
They look like a fat man sitting on a toilet. Probably sound about the same. Anybody foolish enough to spend 5 mil on these probably has taste up their... well, you know.
|
Yeesh. Bright gold roundy round casing and it looks terrible. The tweeter though, it looks like the one that is used on the Von Schweikert VR-5 Anniversary speaker though. I believe the brand is called VIFA. The VR-5 is one of the finest speakers I've heard that doesn't cost $5 million bucks, hah!
|
Those are beautiful. I think I’m going to cry….🥹🥲😭🤣😂😂🥲🥹
|
...another ’bigger fools with even more $ to burn’ ego item....
As for the ’buyer that didn’t pay’ aside, that ’buyer’ sounds strangely familiar....*rubs chin...* Probably thought they were gold....always attracted by shiny objects, and likely didn’t care what they sounded like....:(
Yeah...something to 'go with the toilet'.....*hmpf*
|
Where did they spend the remaining $4,997,000 on?
|
Thought they looked familiar…Last week at Home Depot a Guy in a white van offered me a pair, said they were overstock and could make a deal.
When I came back from the ATM with the 3 Mil (took some time for all that to come out), he was gone… Oh well, Seriously think the guy would have waited, I mean really who carries cash today?
|
I wonder if they ever sold one?
|
|
Selling mine .... Moving into small apartment and they sound too big.
Asking 3,000,000. Will negotiate.
Still under transferable warranty.
PM me.
|
@genez
Oh, that's funny. Are you a professional comedian?
|
Confused, the beginning of the description states "give out a luxurious bass (frequency response 16 - 27,000 Hz with an error of 3 dB)," then says "On a technical approach, the speakers feature an impedance of 5 Ohms, a frequency range from 47 Hz to 37 kHz (+- 4dB & 39 Hz – 47 kHz +- 10db), a sensibility range of 97 dB 1W at 1 meter."
Which is it? If the latter, those specs are a joke for a $5M set of speakers that look like a golden turd.
|
Looks to be a tannoy 8 inch concentric, from their older ceiling speakers as well as studio monitors, System 800, plastic cone. Get a used pair for 500 bucks. Save a few million, what a deal!
|
1. Loved @nonoise reply. @aewarren is a clear 2nd place winner. I was thinking a discarded barber chair design competition for high school art class.
2. Why?
3. Who cares?
4. Technically, is gold a current in interior design trend? FYI the bronze version is a mere $64K. Think of all the incredible speakers in that range that more than likely also have return policies. After all, is a gold exterior worth $4,936,000 more than bronze?
5. I wonder if Hart sold any gold iterations? It would seem that purchaser may be more interested in expensive and novel v. sound?
6. Curious, the Hart Audio web site isn't. This article is of interest:
|
For that money I will hire my favorite band to play at my house and keep my speakers as is!
|
From the back those ugly speakers look like the gold statue that Indiana Jones found at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark! Maybe the speakers would be worth it if only we could speak Hovitos!
|
I built my speakers and are very nice to look at. Style like the Paragon speaker of old. They sound very expensive. I will sell them to you for 5 million!
|
I think it speaks well for our species that they haven't sold any of them yet.
|
They look like the removed intestinal section after a partial colectomy.
