Ferrari-inspired. Wireless. $20,000. These descriptors all refer to the new high end Art.Engine “executive” audio system introduced today by design studio David Wiener Ventures. This limited edition offering is available in a quantity of 1,000 only.

The Art.Engine is actually licensed by Ferrari for what we think is marketing purposes. It stands 47 inches tall and 6 inches deep. It combines twin-speaker arrays, wireless signal input, and digital electronics in a tower design. Each of its two channels, according to its maker, hosts eight three-inch DWV carbon-fiber, high-performance low-to-midrange woofers, and one 1.1-inch ScanSpeak soft-dome tweeter with a Neodymium motor.

The built-in wireless receiver allows the Art.Engine to play music files and Web-based radio from any 802.11 WiFi-enabled PC or Mac. Audio inputs allow playback from other audio sources. You also get LEDs for system status and the envy of all your friends. This system should be available now.
