The most expensive pair of speakers I've ever demonstrated were some McIntosh speakers in the early 90's. They were seven feet tall and had a huge array of drivers (can't remember the model number). They were only 25k for the pair... but the best system I ever heard was a top of the line Meridian system that was over 80k. If I ever win the lottery, Meridian is going in my new house!

I heard the Wilson speakers at an Hi Fi show several years ago. They were $80,000 for a stereo (not surround) system THEN. To tell the truth, I couldn't tell the difference between them and other systems costing a mere $8,000. In fact, above about $4,000 the differences were very small.

I have listen to the high end B + W, they were over 10,000. I know of the Infinity's that are 50,000, and the B+W snails I think they are like 50,000



I know that Krell make a great high end,



but the best I ever heard is in the Intrepid museum on the south street sea port. They are a pair of Kef's, they are about 6 feet high and about 6 feet wide. they made the sound of a plane taking off the ship, it was incredible



Yes there are a lot of high end, like Jaunas, and Conrad - Johnsons. I will never own them, my house is too small

i heard the B&W nautilus it was finished in pure rosewood it was a dynamic looking speaker and one of the clearest I have heard this was about $20,000.00 Then of course you have Martin Logan and a great italian speaker called Sonus Faber, they are awesome, but as far as good music listening speakers go, there is a speaker company called Spendor....they have an awesome product called the S8, I would compare these to any of the above speakers and it retails for about $1600 - $2000.

The finest is a grilled cylinder, 6-8 ft. high, 4-6 inches in diameter.



360 degrees surround sound. New product.



Replaces 4 or more standard speakers. I saw a band that replaced $4,000.00 in speakers with "one" of these Fantastic sound..



$2,000.00.

Used to work in a relatively high end audio store... Used to listen to Wilson Watt/Puppy's every day at 20k in the early 00's.... sure to miss that part of the job!!!

best i've heard is Wilson Grand slams at $80,000 (stereo only) myself personally own a cheaper pair :-), good rule of thumb spend twice as much on the speakers or more then the cost of the amp you are using

Advantgarde Meta Primo ($70,000, loud)

One is oddly enough made by a company named Infinity. Magneplan is another.
