Man, that thing puts the ug in ugly
Which would be 100% true if the design had any artistic merit besides pandering to our inner 6 year old.A cool million gets you a piece of artwork that makes sounds, not a great loudspeaker.
Look at the shiney, and it's a rocket ship!
Thank you fatoldgit for sharing. I am not sure that it is more than a very well done 3D rendering, but I for one am glad to have seen it. I don't feel the need to actually hear it... but it is a unique vision.
Isn't that the kind of intention we prefer here? Engineered implies a measurement base, and sounding implies a marketing base. We must think what we will of the appearance, but underneath the metalwork could be a decent loudspeaker. Probably bought in, from someone competent.Their web site states "WW and M, who conceived, designed and built the Cosmotron speakers, had one objective: To create, in all respects, the most beautiful and best engineered loudspeakers on Earth." Note not the best SOUNDING but engineered...
Maybe it’s because I’m old, but I think it’s a ripoff of Tintin:Personally I think the've been watching too much Wallace and Gromit.
He would need to borrow a landing pad from SpaceX first.I am sure they could fly under their own power to Amir for testing.
I don't think Amir would be overly keen on having to lift a 325kg speaker... one may need a winch.to Amir for testing
You also need a very big orange. Juicy SqueezerNot much to say.. 325kg each, £1,000,000 a pair.
Obviously our previous obsession with whether we should leave our gossamer thin speaker driver covers on or off has been solved... it obviously doesnt matter...any about of heavy metal slots is acoustically transparent.

HiFi News - The Cosmotron 130 bronze Loudspeakers are a million-pound, ultra high-end loudspeaker, made in Wales like their £100k Cosmotron 50 little sisterwww.hifipig.com

Can't condemn them on sound quality until we see some measurements. I don't see anything to indicate that they would not at least be competent.
