Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

Very nice! So your own design?

Yes, although I will probably make the final version a little lower. My daughter will paint the silk scarves herself. She is a design engineer specializing in textile technology.

Looks kind of familiar.

YG Acoustics Gemini. $850K per pair for passives. ~910 kilos or ~1 ton per pair, for passives. :eek:

Insane specs:

"Speaker Type​

  • 5-way floor-standing loudspeaker
  • Available in passive, Active Bass and Live versions
  • Triple layer, aerospace aluminum cabinet with constrained layer damping

Drivers​

  • Lattice hybrid tweeter with advanced airframe
  • Dual 15 cm (6”) BilletCore drivers, advanced neodymium motor magnets, exceptional set matching
  • Dual 18.5 cm (7.25”) BilletCore drivers, advanced neodymium motor magnets, exceptional set matching
  • Dual 26 cm (10.25”) BilletCore drivers, ultra-high field strength motor, exceptional set matching
  • 32cm (12.5”) BilletCore driver, ultra-high field strength motor, exceptional set matching [$825K and no 15" woofers!] :rolleyes:

Configurations​

  • Passive: External crossover with Ultracoherent circuits at 35 Hz, 90 Hz, 360 Hz and 1.85 kHz
  • Active Bass: External crossover with Ultracoherent circuits at 90 Hz, 360 Hz and 1.85 kHz. 1kW audiophile bass amplifier with DSP tuned crossver for 32cm driver, supporting room correction [$30K extra]
  • Live (active): External amplifier with 8 x 700W audiophile amplifiers per tower, with optimized DSP crossover, linked by glass optical fibres to Live Controller with ROON Ready streaming, analogue and digital inputs and high quality phono stage [one amp per driver. Did they forget Bluetooth? Price?]

Passive Crossover​

  • Custom components unique to each pair, individually optimized for frequency response, phase alignment, phase slope and transient response
  • Custom capacitors, including pure metal foil models and special copper alloy foil models
  • Exceptional components such as manganin foil resistors, resonance-damped inductors, silver-gold alloy capacitors and OFC Litz inductors
  • Custom, anti-resonance PCB with low dielectric constant and dissipation factor, with optimized traces

Response​

  • Usable output extends from below 20 Hz to 40 kHz
  • Exceptionally low distortion throughout range
  • Exceptional pair matching

Sensitivity​

  • 88 dB

Impedance​

  • 4 Ohms average
  • 2.4 Ohms minimum

Dimensions​

  • 215 × 54 × 108 cm [84.5 × 21.5 × 42.5”] H × W × D

Weight​

  • 455 kg [1000 lbs] per tower unpacked !!! "
I'm curious. Can you run the passive version with one $725 Buckeye Hypex NC502MP NCORE, 2 x 500 watts/per channel @ 4 ohms amp? Someone from ASR needs to try! :cool:

Absolute madness!

422,750.jpg

$422K

467,750.jpg

Spectre $467K

597,750.jpg

Phantom $598K

Rolls-Royce vehicles, like the Ghost and Phantom, are known for their impressive audio systems, often including a Harman/Kardon Logic7 sound system with Lexicon speakers. These systems feature a multi-speaker setup, sometimes with up to 18 speakers and subwoofers, to create a surround-sound experience. The Lexicon company, now owned by Harman, is known for its design and development of these audio systems, which are custom-tuned for each individual vehicle.

But what if you already have a Rolls Royce Phantom but still need a pair of speakers?

Sure. If one has enough money (brains) to buy a Rolls Royce, one can buy few good pairs of speakers much cheaper, rather than snake-oil. :)
Or, even a castle,
for $790K with an estate that spans 12.6 hectares.

A castle would be tempting. But I don't think those YG speakers are snake oil. If I was worth a couple of billion and had, say, thirty million of that in cash, I'd at least check out stupidly expensive speakers.

Wouldn't have a Rolls though, they're too flash. You can't really get away with that in England.

When someone prices a box, or two boxes for such an amount, it is snake oil. Or, the guy who buys that has something really wrong with his brains. Sure, I won't buy a Rolls, for I don't have the money, but will buy a French car, a Citroen. There are no "tariff" problems, by the way. :)

Not snake oil to me since they do what they claim to do. Snake oil for me is something that does nothing, like a 'grounding box'.

They may be overpriced but that alone doesn't count and if I was super-wealthy I'd pay it - if I liked them enough to want them.

For a Citroen you could maybe tempt me with a fully restored SM. :)
