Never get bored on just drooling these speakers any number of times. Yes, among them, I listened to MBL Radialstrahler 101 E MKII connected to CD- Transport mbl 1621 A, 2 x Mono/Stereo power amplifier mbl 9011 here at Audio People, Chennai. Package cost just 1 C. Sound, i thought am not worthy to sit even in front of them, so silently walked away after few minutes. It seems Sachin Tendulkar loved it while he was auditioning these, and contemplating on getting them. wow.
1 C is that 1 crore? If so did they really sound worth 1 crore?
I think all these speakers are definitely in the category of batshit insane. Would be nice to be able to listen to them though.
And also i was thinking....considering that they're not using like platinum and diamonds to build these things, can you imagine the profit margins on these babies??

It is really great that such speakers do make a difference to sound quality. The greatest single factor involved would be the room quality and acoustics.
It might be easier to get a very good acoustic space and be better off with slightly less expensive speakers and spend the savings on quality acoustic enhancement. If these high end mega buck speakers are really used they should be used in a properly treated acoustic room.
This is just my humble opinion.

I've not heard most of the speakers on the list. But I've heard Magico among others and Focal (which surprisingly is not on the list). While I agree with you that they're not using anything like diamonds to justify the cost in terms of performance they achieve other manufacturers cannot even imagine of. I've yet to hear anything like the Focals that I've heard with a friend. I've heard Ella Fitzgerald numerous times, but after hearing her on the Focals (driven by Krell) I've never heard her like that ever again. Try as I might Ella just does not sound like Ella anymore after the Focals experience. For that kind of experience and hearing what's unheard of anywhere else the cost would be justified I suppose for someone who is crazy about music. The Focals (or something similar) are the first thing I'm going for and that too ASAP.
hey moser the list does contain the JM Labs / Focal grande Utopia. so it does feature a Focal, and the most expensive of the lot.
What I'd like to know for instance is how these would compare to say the Rethm Saadhnas that cost 3.5 lakhs. Now that would be an interesting comparison.
Venkatji, I totally agree with you, many premium products are massively overpriced, i but don't know if I'll ever get around to convincing myself that any such item is worth the money. For instance, if the Rethm Saadhnas can hold their own against even a few of these speakers, then the very existence of an option like that would make those speakers a waste of money.
