World’s Most Expensive Speakers by Hart Audio


If you are looking for high quality audio, then check out the D and W Aural Pleasure Loudspeaker range of Hart Audio. These audio systems have been inspired by the huge bell in the Big Ben clock tower. The audio system company has released three versions of their loudspeakers: in bronze, silver and 18 carat gold, with the gold loudspeaker system being priced at a whopping three million British pounds.

These limited edition bespoke loudspeakers have not only attracted media attention because of their expensiveness, they have also attracted new customers because of their ability to provide better amplification of sound.

Features of Hart Audio’s D and W Aural Pleasure Loudspeaker

The gold loudspeaker has a curvaceous design. Ancient bell-founding traditions and acoustic technologies have been incorporated in this design, so that customers have an amazing audio experience. Each cabinet has been carefully crafted by hand, and weighs about 50 kilograms, excluding the driver units.


The castings of the gold audio system have been manufactured by Basingstroke, a British company that specialises in casting fine art sculptures to attain the perfect shape. Hart Audio’s 3,000,000 pound gold loudspeaker has three speaker drive units, and chrome stands (which are height adjustable) attached to the underside of the speaker. Other features of the D and W Aural Pleasure Loudspeakers are:
  • Sensitivity range of 97db 1w@1mtr
  • Impedance of 5 Ohms
  • Frequency range of 47Hz- 37Khz (+-4db & 39Hz-47Khz +- 10db).
Hart Audio’s gold speakers are expected to deliver their best audio output, when they are positioned in the corners of a room.
