Sonus Faber Suprema Flagship Loudspeaker $750,000

In my opinion 90% of their post Franco Serblin creations "missed the mark!"
The attempt shown of a SOTA Transducer sorta buries itself in the mud of a current McIntosh plethora shown.
Once mighty brands--that sadly lost the plot

The Stradivari design implemented by Picasso on acid maybe !
Looks like a ugly veneer bastard sister to the Gryphon Kodo with a pregnant woofer-tower !

they really do have nice woodwork but to me the scale and the integration of the pieces leaves a lot to be desired especially from a company that sort of lives in that space.The Stradivari design implemented by Picasso on acid maybe !
I don't see the small dome on the tweeter?
I'm sure when set in a mega mansion with marble on the floors and walls its looks will be stunning and the lush sound appropriate for the space. If its ever turned on.

It looks like sonus faber had threesome with estelon and raidho and this came out: Estelon contour having sonus faber back and raidho front.
I might be the only one here that thinks they look good. Being a staunch free market guy, I also never thought I'd be one rendered flabbergasted by a suggested retail price.
@andromedaaudio I believe both companies are owned by the same investment group.

And the house !
Yeah, not like putting a Magico M7 into an 18 feet x 14 feet room
, as described on the other thread.
The woofer grill is ghastly. And it means there are four fastening holes in that wood baffle.
I would like to see someone making a tall corner horn loaded sub with this level of furniture grade finish with two towers out in the room. That way at least the subs would be less intrusive. Integration might be an issue though and I do not know if you could get the low extension.
I see a potential market for a very high end speaker system, two or four boxes, that integrates into the room better for more of a lifestyle approach. Most of these four tower flagship designs seem to end up in dedicated rooms, removed from the living quarters, despite the marketing photos in palatial estates.
How cool would something like the JBL Paragon in a dining or living room be but made for today's family in a great room or family room? This is how kids would grow up in a household with good music and good sound. Make it more of a lifestyle thing, like it was years ago.

Not sure what to think
Honestly feels like the high end is trying to price gouge the rest of us true hobbyists
