# $3 Million Speakers The Hart Audio D&W Aural Pleasure Loudspeaker is Extravagant By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-08-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hart-audios-dw-aural-pleasure-loudspeaker References: [bornrich](http://www.bornrich.com/hart-audio-introduces-worlds-expensive-speakers-3-million.html) & [hartaudio](http://www.hartaudio.com/) Made from 18 karat gold, the Hart Audio’s D&W Aural Pleasure Loudspeaker offers the premiere listening experience, which many would expect from a $3 million dollar sound system. Taking design and sound structure inspiration from London's Big Ben clock, the interestingly shaped sound system is a luxurious item that is truly only available to a select few of the world. Though I for one won't be switching from [standard earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herms-ateliers-horizons) anytime soon, this is an interesting idea in terms of design and sound breakthroughs. Hart Audio has only created 99 pairs of the [gold speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silence-please-glow). Also available for less money in silver and bronze, these speakers will make more than a small dent in your wallet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Luxury Audio:** High-end audio equipment catering to a niche consumer group seeking exclusivity and quality. - **Gold Plated Technology:** Incorporating precious metals into technology for added value and aesthetics. - **Innovative Speaker Design:** Developing unique and visually appealing speaker designs as a selling point. ### Where This Applies - **Audio Equipment Manufacturing:** Producing luxury audio equipment to cater to affluent consumers with high standards. - **Luxury Goods Manufacturing:** Integrating precious metals into technology to add value and exclusivity to high-end products. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating high-end and visually striking audio equipment seamlessly into home decor for clients seeking unique designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Extravagant Home Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xcs15k-center-channel-loudspeaker.md) - [Posh Pearlescent Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bowers-wilkins-nautilus.md) - [Opulent Audiophile Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonus-faber-amati-supreme.md) - [Wireless Premium Distinctive Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beolab-8-speaker.md) - [Opulent Audio Performance Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beolab-8.md) - [Opulent Next-Gen Home Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bowers-wilkins-800-series-signature-speakers.md) - [Transparent Loudspeaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loudspeaker-system.md) - [Opulent Artisan Aesthetic Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arendal-1528-tower-8-limited.md) - [Opulent Home Audio Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/msb-sentinel-dac.md)
