damn!!! :o
I am consistently amazed at the small rooms that people will put their enormous speakers in. That VR-11 looks more suited for an auditorium-sized space. :P
that is a mighty small room for those things...

I'm sure they sound great and all bu they just look idiotic.

They aren't as idiotic looking as Acapella Speakers, and they cost less than half as much ($325,000)

agree...and from the seller's listening distance of like 3.5 feet (see first pic), it would be hard not to. :P
You could buy these brand new for $100K now...as long as you donate your old walkman to the Goodwill!

yeah, I can't imagine that those were designed for nearfield listening. Some people have too much money on their hands!

and/or no common sense.
I know....., the opening statement of "I was looking for the best in the world, price no object", and then coming up w/that stupid room to put them in.
if I could "cyber puke"...it would stink in this thread.
Id rather have the vr7s or 9s myself.
and I love those big ass horns, though i like avante garde's design and look a little better.
Still, I wish I had that much money and time. First thing on the list would be the design and construction of a room that would be *perfect* for such gear.

now thats my idea of price no object, doing things right.
