1. It's serious.

2. It's 23,500 euros, which is $31,000

 

Watch the advert, it's insane. It describes what are basically car speakers (two-way with an 8-inch woofer). The music server/headstone is interesting, though. It allows visitors to select songs and see what you are listening to.

They should have a Karaoke option.

I figured $30,000 car speakers is really summit-fi, hope this is in an okay place.

That's not a horribly expensive coffin and an interesting way to take $ from the living. A wireless subscription service is in order. Wish there were a better sub though...50W would not cut it for me. They say the Devine tweeters have external cooling....not sure how that is accomplished 6' down.

Just an amazing product! I'm sure there are a few people who get turned on by laying in coffins so there should at least be one who also is an audiophile.normal_smile%20.gif

 

There should be a change in the title so we can bring all silly and hilarious audiophile gear into one thread!

V-Moda needs to jump on this and rebrand it.... the V80 Eternity edition...

Apparently the Swedes are keenly aware of the niche market of  deep-pocketed audiophiles who believe in magic pixie dust....
