THE MILLION POUND BOP
Magico M9
£840,000 (pair)/ absolutesounds.com
A 30-mile semi-industrial expressway from Edinburgh to Dunblane, the M9 is a boring road even by Britain’s standards. Perhaps Magico’s humdrum speaker-naming policy is an attempt to play down their obvious ostentatiousness and extraordinary price tag… because really, the only vital stat you need to know here is that a pair of these 2000W floorstanders will set you back £840,000.
