JBL flogs monster speakers at monster prices

Speakers that roar, refined for the home?

Here's a picture: a 300W loudspeaker designed for the Project Synthesis home theatre system.

A rich sound?

Standing at just over a metre tall and weighing 52kg a piece, JBL's 1400 Array floor-standing speakers are not for the shallow-pocketed - a single pair retails at an eye-popping £8,500.

Incorporating an original design featuring the 'freestanding' SonoGlass® horn, the 1400 Array promises to impress even the most ardent of Audiophiles.

But worth the money? Readers, pray tell.
