The Gaudi - the most expensive speakers in the world?

I was wondering which are the most expensive speakers in the world. Browsing and browsing I find that Germans Physiks THE GAUDI are the wanted product. Called "A Monument To Musicality" by the creators, the measure of The Gaudi's capabilities may be appreciated in a rather straightforward demonstration we have conducted many times at our facilities. This involves, very simply, using the speakers as a public address system for reproducing a live jazz band. The ability of The Gaudi to capture not only the precise timbres of individual instruments but their full dynamic range is quite simply astonishing and comes remarkably close to fooling the ears of even experienced listeners.
