Mobius MKII speakers promise big sound, bigger price

Those who want their speakers to make as much of a statement with their looks as with their sound may want to keep an eye out for these new Mobius MKII behemoths, which promise a full 360 degrees of sound at reference-level quality. Measuring 38-inches tall, the speakers boast three drivers in the 8-inch bipolar array that sits up top, along with a custom made, front firing subwoofer that provides a frequency response down to 20Hz.. Just as importantly (to some), the speakers will also be available in a range of high-quality metallic or piano finishes, although not before the spring of 2008, which is when they're expected to make their debut. While there's no word on an exact price just yet, Audio Junkies says they should retail for somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $15,000.

I've always wanted an 8-inch bipolar array.

I have 54 inch bipolar mother in law- does that count?

I've always wanted to save the lives of hungry children or make a substantial financial contribution to medical research--but, unfortunately, I was cursed with ultra-sensitive hearing. So, instead, I'm going to spend $15,000 on speakers.

IS it just me, but the first thing I though of when I saw this, was some weird sex toy.

Patrick Ibison I damn their chocked reading your comment.

Lets see 6.1 home theater using the MKII @ 10-15k each or 47" Olivia 747i LCD, Yamaha RX V3800, Soavo speakers, Leather home theater seats, popcorn machine, LG-BH100, lets top it of with a new IS300.

pfft, I can already tell by looking at them that you can do alot better speaker wise for 10-15 grand, You could do better for WAY less than that. Stupid gimmick speakers. They probably use the same tricks/make the same outrageous claims as Bose. (and where are the rest of the specs? Theres warning number 1)

OH MY GOD....BELIEVE OR NOT, I DID THESE 3D Renderings for Artistic Audio....and I am surprised to see it here!!

[laughallway2bank @ Oct 26th 2007 2:09PM]

if your willing to pay 10-15 thousand on some speakers... you should have your ears blown off.

[Pavan @ Oct 27th 2007 12:25AM]

These should go well with those $8000 Pear audio cables they're mythbusting over at Gizmodo!
