Anyone got an extra million lying around?

This one’s for sale on reverb.com for $999,993, and $500 to ship it.  WTF?

After reading recent posts in the audio thread, I found this loudspeaker at a mere $685,000 per pair...

I doubt that Best Buy sells it.

Doesn't look like it. Advertised as "mint", looks newish and practically unused, apparently produced by an artisanal luthier (searching for correct words here...)

Price is incomprehensible to me, but I reckon the market will decide.

[Milestones]

Just saying that for that price it ought to have belonged to a legend.

Amazon seeks to fill every retail gap known to man (and several that are not yet known).

Thanks, interesting story.

The 6th paragraph may provide a clue about the guitar seller's identity. I'm thinking the dentist who had Ribbecke build it. Or his heirs...
