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.

I'm just gonna keep on rolllin' with the gear I got 'till it's time for me to fly. 

I need another dose of Thorazine.

Correction to above post of mine:

It seems the Suprema system is only semi-active - that is, the subs only and not the main speakers, although the electronic crossover offers a high-pass function of the main towers.

I see that item as a paired bass tower (not sold separately or intended for diverse range of speakers) rather than a subwoofer. At least in the audio hobbyist/consumer sense of the term. Gotta wonder how many units Sonus aspired to sell with that design x price point. What a world.

Suprema is likely a "build to order" with a long lead time. Can't imagine a section of the warehouse filled with pallets ready to ship? That would "cheapen" the prestige/privilege of owning.

I see some of the build technology "trickling down" to the more "sane" price points.

Sub with electronic crossover @regular guy price-$20K?

Just and FIY, the subs are passive. They had the 2000 watt Mac amps driving the sub section…
