Dr. Evil's Speaker

Please understand that $1,000,000 buys one speaker, so you'll need to shell out $2,000,000 for stereo, and at least five million for your Ultimate home theater.

The Ultimate is a rather large speaker--each one consists of six, seven-foot tall panels. Each Ultimate houses a total of forty 15-inch subwoofers, twenty-four 8-inch woofers, and massive arrays of 2-inch wide and 1-inch wide ribbon tweeters. All of this is for a single channel/speaker, double those numbers for stereo! A pair of Ultimates are nearly forty feet wide!

If TKAM or any mods want to post the HC amazon link for them here feel free.

they really call that one speaker?

Better writeup and pictures here.

Hey, if you have a 50 foot-wide room, why not?

And it's only a 4-way design. They have something smaller called a "mini ultimate", but where's the conspicuous consumption in that?

I wonder how it's loaded. Looks to be just open baffle.

A forty foot wall o' ribbon speakers....

What would be properly amplify such a thing? I'm guessing many amps.

[Dusty Chalk]

It comes with amps.

[JimP]

I placed my order... will let you guys know.

[Dreadhead]

It comes with amps.

Oh that makes the price seem a lot more reasonable

Looks like a great office rig.

for a stereo config, how big of a room would be required/adequate for these speakers?

[guzziguy]

Carnegie Hall would be about right.

Let's put it this way -- if you have to ask, probably bigger.

Question... does it have a built-in ipod dock?

Question... does it have a built-in ipod dock?

Well yeah, but not for the entry level price of $2,000,000.00. That's a $500,000.00 add on. Sheesh don't be a cheap bastard.
