Does dose anyone see these speakers in real?


Rub your eyes as much as you wish, but that won't change the fact the price you see for this pair of stunning speakers is a cool $5m. If we owned them, we'd almost be scared to use the speakers for their intended purpose out of fear that we might do some damage.

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!
