So you’re in the market for a grand piano, but your one of those folks who like the extraordinary, something different.  I have just the piano for you.

You are looking at German designer Professor Luigi’s Schimmel’s K 208 Pegasus Oval Art Grand Piano.  She’s a beauty, eh?  Completely handcrafted, the K 208 Pegasus has been designed with an ergonomically curved keyboard, over 200 strings under a combined tension of 176,520 newtons & a key assembly comprised of 10,000 pieces.  Not too shabby, in other words. 

Cost, $110,000.  Now all you have to do is find space in that Rio penthouse.

How much are you willing to dish out for quality sound?  What about $1 million for these Kharma Grand Enigma Speakers?

These luxury speakers by Kharma are a huge hit & Belgium & the Netherlands-based company is trying to get into the luxury market here in the States.  But I dunno about $1 million for speakers…. What about just paying the people you want to hear to play for you in your home for that kind of dough?

Loudspeakers for the shower, eh?  I’m not convinced.

For $295 a pair you can install these SoundTile Waterproof Shower Speakers to match your WaterTile bodysprays.  These speakers, brought to you by teams Kohler & Polk Audio, have been marine certified & feature stainless steel grills that let the sound out but the water in.  Sounds kinda nifty I guess…
