According to Hi-Fi Choice magazine, the Hart Audio D&W Aural Pleasure Loudspeaker "can do things that no other speaker can." And it damn right better do some amazing things — at $4.72 million, this speaker is perhaps the most expensive ever created.

This ultra-expensive speaker is a special edition — only one 18-karat gold pair will be made. (You can buy a cheaper version cast in bronze for $62,800.) It features some very high-quality components: a 200mm polypropylene bass driver and a 25mm aluminum magnesium dual concentric treble driver, for starters. It's also very, very heavy at 110 pounds.

It's probably not the most attractive design for your decor — or, really, the decor of anyone well off enough to have $5 million to blow on a one-of-a-kind speaker. But if you care about sound quality enough to actually consider a purchase, we're not sure the package it comes in will matter that much to you.

I wonder where the one gold pair is going? A bevy of 21st-century wealth cliches are running through my head....

I think this beats them all. $ 6,950,000

I don't get it with the gold and precious metal casting.

It seems like a product for an oil sheik, not an audiophile.

Give me a REAL speaker, please, not a chunk of gold.

They look like golden dog poo. Plus, there is no place on top to put my diamond encrusted watch.
