Most expensive

What are the most expensive speakers on earth. How do they compare with others near their price? Where do you buy them and listen to them?

Most often the most expensive is far, far from the best. Now, that does not mean that the most expensive won't be reviewed as the best, that's a whole different matter, there are plenty of poor reviewers who will be influenced by having the most expensive thing sitting in front of them in their house.

Then again, anyone with a room of proper size, construction, and furnishings for the 37' wide Ultimate system probably wouldn't look at the price tag. I read elsewhere that they have orders for two of them.
