mbl 101 X-treme, the world's most beautiful speakers?

The mbl 101 X-treme, a $250,000 speaker cabinet with omni-directional mirror imaged speaker arrays, may be a lot of things—overpriced, overwrought, and overengineered—but there is no denying the carbon fiber, steel, and wood monstrosity is a beaut. [via Red Ferret]

This caught my eye because my initials are "MBL," and strangely enough I have often been described in exactly the same terms--a strangely beautiful but overwrought, overpriced monstrosity.

Looks like some kind of Steampunk power source or fine detection equipment.

Either way it makes me want to talk like Sean Connery, which I can't explain.
