$140K nets you sleek, tall, limited MUON speakers

Posted in KEF, Speakers by Nino Marchetti on October 19th, 2007

KEF MUONHave a $140,000 in coins under your sofa lying around you need to spend? Are you a big audiophile? If so the money and audio paths can converge with the massive new and pricey KEF MUON loudspeakers unveiled here in the United States this week.

The KEF MUON, as you can see from the photo, are quite tall at nearly seven feet. Only 100 have been made. Each pair is designed from super-formed aluminum, creating what is described as “a careful convergence between Ross Lovegrove’s design aesthetics and the physics of sound.” A four-way speaker system is mounted to the front, offering what we have to imagine is a kick ass sound. There’s also two additional bass drivers on the back of the speakers.

One other technology the MUON makes use of is called “Acoustic Compliance Enhancement,” which “effectively doubles the available volume through adsorption of air molecules by activated carbon.” While we don’t exactly know how that works, we’ll take KEF’s word it enhances sound quality. At its price, it damm well better!

    Oh my God, my life is now complete. I didn’t realize I was missing something important, and this is it.You’ve answered my every need. I will be able to share the sounds with my AIG, City Bank, and other CEO’s. If only I can get a loan from the $700B bailout. My only concern is what will happen to my fish tank if the activated carbon filter fails… I could go on but I’m sure you get the point, don’t you?
