10 Most Expensive Speaker Systems

Sometimes people who love audio have more money than sense, and that's why the audiophile business thrives. When you have people paying 700 bucks for a wooden knob and multiple thousands for a speaker cable, you have to admit that there's some psychological voodoo involved.

But that's nothing. How would you like to spend a cool $2,000,000 on home playback system? Here's a great article that lists the top 10 most expensive speaker systems. I've only listed 5 here, but you can see the entire article at the whatuwantnow blog.

"When its music, debate, rock party, wedding or even a religious occasion, speakers are the most important concern to look, and to make one occasion perfect, people love to have good quality speakers,

1. ULTIMATE by Transmission Audio

Can you imagine a speaker can cost $2,000,000? Yes, this is the one, the most expensive speaker of the world, which wants 31,000 Watt to be listened. It has four aloof dipole subwoofers, and every subwoofer carries 10 fifteen inches subwoofers. This is not enough; every dipole plate has 24 eight inches unit channels, and 2 dipole MF on each channel along with one HF Channel plate of 68 meters ribbon.

2. Grand Enigma by Kharma

The Million Dollar Speaker System

High-end audio has always seemed to be more about price and hype instead of audio quality, but it looks like insanity has taken over the industry once and for all.

A company called Transmission Audio now makes a speaker, called the Ultimate, that at $1,000,000 is probably the most expensive in the world. Now understand that this is for just a single speaker system, so you'll need to shell out a couple of mil for a stereo pair!

The Ultimate is a really large speaker system with each one consisting of six, seven-foot tall panels that houses a total of forty 15-inch subwoofers, twenty-four 8-inch midrange speakers, and massive arrays of 2-inch and 1-inch wide ribbon tweeters. And that's just for one channel. Double those numbers for stereo! A pair of Ultimates are nearly forty feet wide!

Each Ultimate speaker comes with its own power amplifiers with a total output of 31,000 watts, and the manufacturer claims the Ultimate can generate up to 146dB SPL, which if true is louder than a jet plane taking off.

Just to put the price of the Ultimate into perspective, you could build a very fine professional sound system very capable of providing quality audio to 20,000 for less than that. Or a first-class recording facility complete with Alan Side's wonderful custom monitors for a lot less.

I don't know if Transmission Audio's sold any of these at all, but I'd love to know who their clients are and what they do for a living. My guess is it's a person with more money than they know what to do with, trying to compensate for impaired hearing. There's a sucker born every minute, especially in audiophile world.
