Here’s a pair of hi-fi speakers that will be music to ears of billionaire audiophiles.The M9s from high end US company Magico cost a staggering $750,000 USD a pair.And even if you have the money , you need an appropriate heavy duty floor in the music room.That’s because they weigh 454 kilos EACH – a combined weight of almost a tonnne.They also come with their own heavy duty power supply which in turn tips the scales at 27 kilos.They also stand just over two metres high at 203 cms.They are 51 cms wide and 102 cms deep.A spokesman for the maker based in Hayward, California called them “ the summation of our no-holds-barred assault on the limits of dynamic loudspeaker design.”
OPS:A Magico M9 speakers come with a new analog crossover, the Magico MXO , shown here, which performs bass/midbass bandpass filtering.

Shy two tonne hippo tries to hide behind river reeds, Mara River, Africa - 08 Oct 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Odd/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1231999c )
Hiding Hippos
A British doctor spotted this shy hippo as he did his best to hide his huge two tonne frame among a bed of reeds.
The coy hippo is just visible among the green lillies as his barrel-shaped head pokes out of the water, leaving his ears and eyes exposed.
He was part of a group of three hippos cooling down in the Mara River, which flows through Kenya and Tanzania in Africa.
Amateur photographer Dr David Odd, from Bristol, was on holiday at a reserve and had been taking pictures of a pride of lions near the river.
During the session he suddenly noticed something moving in the water behind him and trained his lens on the bed of lillies and reeds.
The married father of one was able to capture the moments the hippos briefly emerged to get a breather from their refreshing dip, some with lillies balanced on top of their heads.
However, David found it tricky to get the three animals in the same shot as it was hard to predict where they would emerge and likened the experience to playing hide and seek.
He said: "We'd been camping in the Mara reserve and taken the bus down to the Mara River to see the pride of lions which live there.
"It was early morning and while we were watching the lions we saw something moving under the lillies in the river behind us.
"It took a while to work out what was happening and then it became apparent that there were three hippos hiding.
"The problem was that they kept popping their heads up, but only briefly and not where you thought they would.
"So it took a while to catch them for the shots, particularly with the plants balanced on the head.
"I know little about the hippos themselves, except it wasn't a big pond so they must have been well acquainted."

Erection of the Suzlon Wind Turbine, part of the world's largest multi-site wind farm, Gujarat, India - 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Tom Parker/CHI-Photo / Rex Features ( 1219281o )
The three 42-metre rotors which convert kinetic energy into electrical, are connected to the nacelle on the ground before being lifted up to the top of the tower using a 500 tonne German-built crane, Construction of wind turbines is easiest from October to March when desert wind speeds are low. If climatic conditions are right, a single turbine can be built in 24 hours
The Suzlon Wind Turbine
As the world looks towards greener methods of energy production, rapidly developing countries like India and China are forced to negotiate the fine balance between environment and progress.
Given its natural environment, India is well positioned to exploit natural energy in a big way; the rivers of the Himalayas gave birth to a long history with hydroelectric power - the first station being built in the foothills of the Himalayas in Dharamsala in 1906.
With the absence of carbon dioxide emissions, HEP is considered to be a relatively green generation method and it now accounts for over one fifth of the total energy production in India.
But in the last decade, the efforts are shifting towards wind and solar energy - becoming increasingly ethically preferable despite their high cost and often small scale of operation.
Of the two, wind energy is proven, scalable, advanced, and easy to install quickly, something that India is taking full advantage of. While the US is the world's largest producer of wind energy with 21% of the global 121 Gigawatt output, India is now the largest producer in Asia, having recently overtaken China.
The Indian government is enthusiastically supporting renewable energy development. This effort is critical to India's energy security, given that over 30% of its export revenue is spent on imported oil and petroleum products.

The three 42-metre rotors which convert kinetic energy into electrical, are connected to the nacelle on the ground before being lifted up to the top of the tower using a 500 tonne German-built crane, Construction of wind turbines is easiest from October to March when desert wind speeds are low. If climatic conditions are right, a single turbine can be built in 24 hours
The Suzlon Wind Turbine
As the world looks towards greener methods of energy production, rapidly developing countries like India and China are forced to negotiate the fine balance between environment and progress.
Given its natural environment, India is well positioned to exploit natural energy in a big way; the rivers of the Himalayas gave birth to a long history with hydroelectric power - the first station being built in the foothills of the Himalayas in Dharamsala in 1906.
With the absence of carbon dioxide emissions, HEP is considered to be a relatively green generation method and it now accounts for over one fifth of the total energy production in India.
But in the last decade, the efforts are shifting towards wind and solar energy - becoming increasingly ethically preferable despite their high cost and often small scale of operation.
Of the two, wind energy is proven, scalable, advanced, and easy to install quickly, something that India is taking full advantage of. While the US is the world's largest producer of wind energy with 21% of the global 121 Gigawatt output, India is now the largest producer in Asia, having recently overtaken China.
The Indian government is enthusiastically supporting renewable energy development. This effort is critical to India's energy security, given that over 30% of its export revenue is spent on imported oil and petroleum products.
Suzlon Energy is an Indian company established in 1995 ...
