What Speakers That Cost $370,000 Sound Like
What does it sound like when you listen to a speaker that’s roughly the price of the home you put it in? The Wilson Chronosonic XVX is a $370,000 audio supertower of seven drivers stacked atop one another producing a spectrum of sound beyond the range of human hearing—literally providing more...

I kinda like the unique Wilson colors
You can’t polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter.

Sure I do like that we get more colours into ours lives, but damn those speakers are ugly!
(Do appreciate your posts though @Pearljam5000 no matter what I personally think about them, always nice to see random design speakers I've never seen before

Also sheer strangeness can be construed as beauty.
If you are a Sheikh or an oil baron or a drug lord, then ordinary won't do! At $370K , they are show pieces, statement architectures, not functional speakers. Though I have heard them personally, and can sound amazing.

How the freaking hell, did they get them in through that door?
Only 30.25” deep.
Is that an original? It is apropos of so many situations... love it!
I never understood the hype around huge horn speakers like those Klipsch Jubilees. The whole point of a horn is efficiency and high SPL, which you do not need in a residential environment.
They do look imposing though

Have you ever given any a serious listen. Some can be quite compelling.
They will not scratch the "disappearing speaker" itch, but they can offer a sonic experience that most highly regarded speakers can't.
We don't have a lot of Klipsch here in Germany but I think my local Hifi dealer has Avantgarde horn speakers. I might give them a try and see if there is truth to the horn speakers magic everyone talks about
There are a number of very good large horn systems from Germany... many that are far better than the Klipsch speakers (subjectively at least). The larger Avantgarde may surprise you. They can be quite impressive.
Yeah, but it is 127cm wide, how do you manoeuvre it in the hallway?
That room is no more than 3m wide, this is a small house!
OK, next question, how the freaking hell can you get a bunch of people through that same door (on the left) after you got the speakers in?
By the way:
The side cheeks are solid hardwood! not veneered.
