You won last week’s LOTO prize? Lucky son of a… Yeah, who cares? Now, don’t come to me asking what speakers would suit your future home entertainment extravaganza. If those B&W speakers I presented earlier seem cheep to you, you could up the ante with this awfully expensive set.

In case you want to invest in a pair of Verity Sarastro II Speakers be sure to have at least $39,995 ready on your card. Pricey ma’am, pricey! Indeed, but what makes them so special? First of all, these high end eXR (extend range) speakers, which use Verity's custom-made and patented resonance free aluminum foil ribbon tweeter, a 6-inch midrange, and an 11-inch woofer. More hi-end goodies include a two-piece cabinet design, with the woofer being mounted in a rear firing as well as a rear ported configuration. Couple all that with a response of 20Hz - 60kHz and 18 watt to unlimited power handling and you have the general picture of those fortune-eaters. Not that impressive, maybe they tax extra money on their hand-made components, if there are any. Or maybe it’s that Italian lacquer finish…
