World’s Most Expensive $5 Million Speaker

World’s Most Expensive $5 Million Speaker

Rub your eyes as much as you wish, but that won't change the fact the price you see for this pair of stunning speakers is a cool $5m. If we owned them, we'd almost be scared to use the speakers for their intended purpose out of fear that we might do some damage.

Hart Audio D&W Aural Pleasure speaker systems do not flaunt their size - in them, the bulk of the cost is in the cases. The cabinets of both loudspeakers are cast in solid gold (18 carats). If it seems to you that such a price tag is too high for paying for aesthetic pleasure, the company has a cheaper model. Hart Audio D&W Aural Pleasure in silver cases will cost “only” $315,000 – but will be sold by the piece.

 Is it expensive again? It doesn't matter - 99 pairs of phosphor bronze were also produced, and the price tag is $63,000 apiece. What about sound? These tiny speakers, despite their size, give out a luxurious bass (frequency response 16 - 27,000 Hz with an error of 3 dB) - branded speakers work wonders.

Price:

As we’ve mentioned above, the gold edition costs $4.7 million, while the bronze version is priced at a mere £40,000 – $62,800. The Silver edition is also a bit expensive, costing £200,000 ($313,900).

Specs:

They sport 3 speaker drive units, the main driver delivering bass and midrange sounds, while also comprising a tweeter in its middle, for treble, plus an additional upper-placed driver that the producer describes as a super tweeter, which can deliver a huge array of frequencies, adding to the quality of this system’s sound and covering virtually all audio formats.

On a technical approach, the speakers feature an impedance of 5 Ohms, a frequency range from 47 Hz to 37 kHz (+- 4dB & 39 Hz – 47 kHz +- 10db), a sensibility range of 97 dB 1W at 1 meter. These technical data and their conformation are good reasons for them to be placed in the room’s corners.
