At more than six-feet tall and weighing in at 27 stone a unit, these aren’t exactly shrinking violets. However, all this size allows for one thing that is subtle: sonic accuracy. Few speakers can make your favourite TUUUUNE! sound so damn good.

For those who don’t know their tech from their, er, nology, here’s a little lesson: electrostatic transducers create sound by exerting force on a thin membrane suspended in an electrostatic field. The Neolith is super accurate thanks to a diaphragm that’s far smaller than a standard dynamic driver’s. Clever stuff – and a price to match: £75k a pair.
