Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs?

I am currently worth less than that pair of speakers, but I am catching up. I can cook better pan-fried noodles, though.

I haven't heard the Sphaeron, but I am very familiar with the Triolon Excalibur. It is, by a wide margin, the best speaker I've ever heard. I really can't imagine what the improvement might be, but I will say that the Triolon is the first really expensive speaker I've ever heard that didnt seem to be affected by the law of diminishing returns.

How could $325k be justiied? Pretty easily, IMO. If given the choice between the Triolons and a $300k car, for pure enjoyment I'd take the Triolons (and I am a car guy). I've known people with boats in that price range that they used a few times a year. People spend a lot of money on a lot of things, and I can't think of anything under half a million that would give me the long term enjoyment of even the Triolons. If the Sphaerons are even better...

Yeah, get a pair of those with some Wavac 833 monoblocks. Enough to buy a small country and you dont even have a source and cabling.

I dont understand the cost of those speakers. And don't give me no give turkey about materials, construction costs, and R&D. Because here is my answer. "Ferrari"

You can score a ferrari for 325k. And it hauls ass, has Far far far FAR FAR FAR higher production cost and WAAAAYYYYYY more engineering costs associated with it.

All i really wanna know is what Acapella is smoking, because i want some of that!!!!!!!!!!!

Friend of mine once said, "A poor consumer is fortunate because he/she has nothing to lose because he/she has nothing to buy (with). A man on a budget is ultimately limited by that budget..."
Which is one way of looking at this tantalising product. Of course, for the asking price I could live my family for quite a few years...:)

I have no doubt that, as their statement product, it delivers outstanding tunes. The Triolon, already mentioned, is one of the very best spkrs I've listened to, by far.
After all even their el cheapo products are very good -- say the Violon (a steal at $35k or s/thing)!

Okay-Everyone that had a negative response: How many of your friends think YOUR totally out of your mind for having the equipment you do? Go tell the average guy walking down the street your speaker cables retail for 1500.00 or your amp/speakers cost you 10K. Why such a reaction to speakers for 325K,when there is routine discussion about gear that costs 20/30/40K. I'll bet alot of people on this forum have systems worth AT LEAST half of their yearly income. Well the guy making 5 Million(or more)might like quality gear too. Just remember-the guy who buys these speakers already has a Ferrari,and a yacht,and a vacation home,and anything else he wants. So before you laugh at him take a look at your own addiction/obsessions.
