German loudspeakers have the golden touch

Crave: These speakers are worth their weight in gold–literally.

That’s because the Ascendo System ZF3 gold edition loudspeakers are cast from the actual precious metal.

If the shade is too “glaring” for you, the German company is also offering a choice of silver, platinum or glossy piano lacquer.

While there are no official specs, it’s pretty obvious that these floor standers feature a two-way design with a woofer and what seems to be a ribbon horn tweeter–the latter is renowned for extended treble reproduction.

On the other end of the spectrum, there’s a port (black hole in front) for enhancing low-frequency bass.

    wow…I wonder how much these will cost. Seems a bit much but I bet they will be a big seller. I think I would rather have the piano lacquer than gold..but to each their own.
