Taiwanese company Calix rocked their Venus Phoenix Grand speakers with a sparse amount of Chord components. The Venus is Calix's lowest priced signature horn speaker in their stable and they don't shy away from making them as good looking as possible. $12k gets you inlaid artwork into mahogany wood. You can also get the Venus in good 'ol iPod white.

Range is 30-35k Hz with 90dB into 6 ohms. The more expensive models go for $33k and $69,500. Check out the next page for a shot of the artwork.
