The photos look beautiful against the black backdrop.

I'm sure it plays better too; Just like the red calipers that make my Porsche go faster.

To each his own.

Ouch.... my eyes are hurting....

all new bs9000 come with red on/off buttons now, so it could be the latest one

Why?

i hope i never have the misfortune to see one of these in real life or its owner for that matter

i thought the beo4 was tasteless and vulgar but this is beyond vulgarity 😂

If you're going to go that far, do you not think it'd be an idea to get speakers and a music system which matched aesthetically?  The BeoLab 8000 is exactly the same height as the 9000 on a floor stand..  Any goon who Googles the BeoSound 9000 would see an image of them together!!

As for what has been done to them - what a waste of gold and diamonds.  Looks awful - and is the audio equivalent of coating a BMW 318i in bling..  Why not do all that to a pair of BeoLab 5's if you really have to.  At least then the sound would match the frankly stupid price tag.

Only my opinion though.  I'm sure there's someone out there, either with a hairy chest and a medallion (plus a lottery winners cheque) or a bank account with more zeros than a binary convention who will love this.  I don't - but even if i did, i couldn't afford half a speaker !!

If you spend 1,8 milion for a stereo you wouldn't buy a high-end?

I would spend less money for gold and more for a better stereo. B&O is good, but no high-end.

32kg of gold is 1,024 ounces.  At $2,000 per oz. that would make it worth $2,048,000.  So it's worth over $2 mill. without the diamonds?  What a bargain..

Could at least have used the BL5's!

What a Dorklehead...
