Wall Of Sound 2.0

[nishank93]

So I just came across this thing: Wall of Sound 2.0. It is handmade in Sweden and is a massive box of 44 individually separated speakers, two sub-woofers and a tube amplifier. It consumes 8000W and outputs 130dB. It weighs 178kg and is just under 6 feet across!!

 

My question is, if it is supposed to be a high quality set of speakers, why can it be only controlled by an iPhone?

the internal audio solution of an iphone is generally reasonable. i disagree on it though

Meh, It's just a gimmick,  anyone can screw 44 speakers and some subs into a box and power it with 80 year old amp technology.

8000W? Wow.

~$6900 ... and doesn't exist yet.

My immediate thought;

 

Also that thing barely even gets loud. My 'custom' iPod dock would kick its ass.

The reason it only uses iphone?

Because it's a fasion statement more than a general consumer friendly audio solution.

They don't want it used with hardware which isn't as "cool."

I saw the picture before reading the specs. I was like: ''Well, it looks like a normal speaker''. But when I saw how small the iPhone was compared to the speaker, I was like:

But I guess its called Wall of Sound for a reason.

I am guessing its designed to match the people that buy beats

Why would you want a speaker taller than you?

You guys if for people who have so much money they dont know what to do with and store all their music on their iphone which they got off itunes. They just have to make it sound good and to the person who buya it is will.

But, seriously, you can't lug a speaker around like you can lug beats around. Why would anybody buy a speaker that costs more than your phone?

Cause they can? I mean what would you buy to listen to music on while drinking and somkeing a cigar?

Despite the iphone, the price, the size, fashion arguments and the power consumption, I still don't know why someone would want this. Isn't a very high quality 5.1/7.1 setup for games and movies or 2.1 for music enough for all our audio necessities?

well a 5.1 or 7.1 setup is wasted on music since its 2.0. If you have good enough speakers 2.0 is usually enough for music as long as your not a stickler, and I guess even if you are if the setup is good enough.

Let's just slap a huge figure of over 9000+ watts and call it a day gents. Cause that's what sells with the plebs.
