Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing!

Saw these in a trade mag.

$750K for the set according to the article.

If one has the wallet for this kind of excess-HELL YEAH!

I personally think a pair of the old Stradivari would compliment the subs more than the Suprema towers. Perhaps not a sonic match, but that would only be a $20/30K goof-put those in the guest room.

I have to contact SF to see if they’ll sell another pair of subs for my SWARM setup.

I am very curious how the well-heeled and not very bright consumer will see these.  Are they physically large enough to command the money being asked for?  I mean, are they going to impress my neighbors if they are so small?

As an avid DIYer, I’m still really not a fan of arm-chair audiophiles taking a speaker apart based on whether or not they can find some of the drivers in a catalog or not.

They think "Oh, this is made by (Faital, ScanSpeak, Seas) so it must be garbage and over priced" , but the reality is the minimum driver price to sales price is 10:1, and it goes UP to 20:1 or higher once a maker makes their own in house drivers. 

Having said that, I can’t imagine buying a set of speakers for $750,000 unless they come with a stripper pole and multiple bars.

I really don't know why more audiophiles haven't gushed over the SF Stradivari.  Really amazing speakers that ignored the room they were in, much like the Snell type As.
