High-power 18-valve Ferrari speakers

Philip Wong | Mar 07, 2008

Are you interested in owning a piece of quality Ferrari engineering? If you're willing to cough out US$20,000 in cold hard cash, check out the exquisitely crafted and high-tech Ferrari Art.Engine speakers. Cast from strong carbon-fiber composite and aircraft-grade aluminum, the sports car-styled loudspeakers are a sight to behold. To convince you of its Ferrari lineage, there are even cooling duct replicas just like those on the classic F40, in case you missed out the oversized brand name and signature red glossy finish.

There isn't a turbo-charged V-8 engine under the bonnet for this towering monster. Instead, there are four 200W digital amplifiers powering an impressive array of 16 audiophile-quality ScanSpeak woofers and two tweeters. The Farrari Art.Engine has also gone wireless with Wi-Fi technology and will readily stream music from any PC and Mac computers. David Wiener Ventures, the company behind this unusual product, further guarantees accurate stereo imaging despite the set's unique one-speaker design.
