Most expensive speakers? Wilson Audio Alexandrias!

[SimplySound]

And they even have a bid at $45,000 but the reserve hasn't been met!

Of course, for prosterity!

They look sort of like robots.

At $45k they are not the most expensive. Try these @ $145K :drool:

They are damn impressive to listen too.

Yeah, they have always reminded me of the Cylons. And I mean that as an insult to their looks. :thumbsdn:

They're an interesting looking speaker, that's for sure.

I believe they are fairly efficient for their size, about 93.5db. There was a review in the latest Stereophile of these I think.

Looks like the dust cap on the tweeter is pushed in? :scratch2:

Nope. Supposed to be that way.

Wilson's TOTL products are masterpieces of design and engineering. They are NOT just another speaker with a hyped up price. With the exception of maybe some screws, there isn't a part or material in them that can be considered "off the shelf", nearly every detail is proprietary to Wilson.

Those X-2's are to loudspeakers what the Bugatti Veyron is to automobiles, IMO.

I'd settle for either pair. I like the looks of both too but the Wilsons the most. Outstanding!

Wow! talk about gold plating a turd.

The concept and woodworking are excellent, but after that ...................

He might have consulted anybody that knew anything about loudspeakers before proceeding..................... in an ideal world of course.

I prefer the Cylon pair but I'm a sucker for timeless aesthetics.
