Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing!

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.

The fit and finish on the Sonus product is really nice. However as is the case with many Italian "designer" goods (Ferrari, Gucci, et al) the prices are jacked up way past the actual value. $750K for subs?  Are there that many people rich enough or foolish enough to plop down $750,000 for these? 

For me I'd rather take that money and build a fabulous listening room and budget $400-500K for some bespoke gear. But that's just one man's opinion. I also like French vanilla ice cream and you may like Dutch chocolate.

Cheers to anybody wo has earned enough clean cash to afford this stuff!  

Incidentally, I could not find the scanspeak sticker mentioned above on any of the Suprema pictures.  Not sure if it was a joke or not.

I am very curious how the well-heeled and not very bright consumer will see these.  Are they physically large enough to command the money being asked for?  I mean, are they going to impress my neighbors if they are so small?
