I thought about it, but then walked away since the colors clashed with my rug.
Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing!
Saw these in a trade mag.
$750K for the set according to the article.
If one has the wallet for this kind of excess-HELL YEAH!
I personally think a pair of the old Stradivari would compliment the subs more than the Suprema towers. Perhaps not a sonic match, but that would only be a $20/30K goof-put those in the guest room.
I have to contact SF to see if they’ll sell another pair of subs for my SWARM setup.

@erik_squires : I have Snell Type A’s. Original price was like $1390. I bought them from the original owner after his passing. He bought them from the Connecticut audio store I worked for. I paid $500 + $400 USPS to ship the A’s in four boxes to Florida. There are bargains to be found on the used market! |
The good news is that my ancient speakers use all scanspeak drivers and I am putting them up for sale for only $740,000. Price is fair and firm. Cheapskate lowball offers will be politely ignored.

As an avid DIYer, I’m still really not a fan of arm-chair audiophiles taking a speaker apart based on whether or not they can find some of the drivers in a catalog or not. They think "Oh, this is made by (Faital, ScanSpeak, Seas) so it must be garbage and over priced" , but the reality is the minimum driver price to sales price is 10:1, and it goes UP to 20:1 or higher once a maker makes their own in house drivers. Having said that, I can’t imagine buying a set of speakers for $750,000 unless they come with a stripper pole and multiple bars. |
