Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

[holdingpants01]

I saw and briefly heard them, nothing special really, but the amount of piano black also made them look cheap and felt like something straight from the 2007. Nice cable though lol

XRT2.1K
Uses 3 amplifiers per speaker.

A speaker designed by an amplifier manufacturer that requires 6 channels of amplification for a stereo pair... hmmm.
I'm shocked!

Why not? Bryston does that, too.

All three frequency bands driven in parallel - must be some amp.

Right, must be powerful to drive those big VU meters

They forgot the (new) subwoofers. 380 pounds (173 kg) and $35K each. With VU meters, of course.

Why? That's normal for passive crossovers.

Transparent Opus cables. Makes the speakers seem reasonably priced.

Those are too cheap.
The $100K cable is the best

Maybe depends whether they are allowed to play music while they dust?

Acapella Hyperion one of the best speakers on the planet but very expensive. And really good looking not like most of the other speakers here

Nope,not even close.
Unless you like highs too much,cause everywhere else are meh to say the least.Not just these,it's an Acapella thing.
Want big horns?Go Blumenhofer.
Want good looking ones (stunning actually) . Go hORNS.

I believe Mr. Carson would frown upon that.

what an insulting waste of money, specs and performance no better than the $600 13" Outlaw sub I have sitting in front of me. At least a Porsche laps the Nurburgring in a measurably excellent time.

Compared to PS2K, PS1K looks odd in a sense.

Have you heard this specific Acapella speaker the Hyperion? It sounds very good no deep horn sound like many other horn speakers.

Blumenhofer is essentially a nice looking good PA speaker with compression driver and PA Bass driver(s) and conventional crossover frequencies. On top their biggest speaker Gran Gioia MK 3 is way smaller. The Hyperion has a wide range midrange dome (3" I guess) driver at the special horn and 4 15" low resonance bass drivers. The whole speaker has many detail optimizations. I think you can hear the effort.

The biggest hOrns speaker is the Uniwersum MK 4 which is also way smaller. The midrange concept is more similar but I am skeptical if they offer a sound without the typical horn honk? Or like many others a better PA speaker sound? Without a doubt the bass and treble should have no chance in comparison with the Hyperion and I guess the midrange is also not on that level.

How comes you dismiss the Hyperion? I only hear praise form every side and I totally agree that they are very very good speakers.
