in the video explaining their stuff they mentioned their tweeter's cones are made of irredium or some precious rare metal cause it had better properties then everything else. (btw it's more precious then gold)

and if thats not a precious metal and it's actually a radio active material then sorry i watched a lot of videos on the "nuclear boyscout" last night.

i guess they're just like the NASA of audio then? ie price is no object, just find the best materials for the job.

Yeah that I agree with, since when money is no object, that allows the best to be made to those who can afford it. Focal is a good example, because they sell high home loudspeaker along car audio, for those looking for the best in the home audio world. I say that sub is chump change because the Focal Grande Utopia EM is $180,000.

i feel like if you have that money to spend on it then you're probly not an audio finatic then. like youd be into other things and you'd buy them just cause they are the best SQ speakers you can buy.

If I had $180k to spend, I'd buy a house. Would rather build my own speakers then pay that much but that's just me.

exactly. if you had that kind of money to spend on it, then chances are you also have gold leafed toilet paper.

I think some of you are kind of exaggerating the price. Yeah it's a lot but it doesn't mean you have to wipe your ass with gold to afford it. Some people buy jetskis or atvs to ride as a hobby. Those can sure cost more than 2k especially with gas. Think of it like that and $2k seems relatively cheap.

And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle ;)

Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

I was just saying for the 180K home speakers.

But the thing is, its $2k for just the sub. Itd be like buying a $4k set of rims for my bike. its just kind of ridiculous for me buy something that expensive for my crf and itd just get nutty to make a whole bike out of parts like that.

edit: im just saying its a little expensive for the common guy.

Also, you guys need to realize, IT IS FUCKING CRUTCHFIELD. I have never seen a item on crutchfield, for anything under MSRP pricing, which in some cases, the dealer itself will sell lower than MSRP. Bottom line, crutchfield sucks and overprices everything, regardless.
