I'd want mine out of either magnesium (during a loud party, we might get a cool lightshow!)
... or maybe dioxygen difluoride, just to see them try to make it.
I have a Sony MiniDisc portable from ~10 years ago whose case is made of solid magnesium. It weighs so little it just feels strange to hold it in your hands. It cost more back then than the most expensive iPod Touch today, but weighs almost nothing and runs continuously for about 3 days straight (no joke) on a single charge.
Wow.... I just bought a pair of these on eBay, for a "Buy It Now" price of $29.95 USD. Apparently they were made in a small town in China. Hhhhmmmm..... I'm having second thoughts now--do you think mine were cheap replicas?????
....Now, if the originals came in "reinforced cardboard" with a tissue paper finished, I'd be able to afford 'em.....!!
On the reasonable assumption that members of a market targeted by £27,000,000.00 single bottles of Limoncello aren't all functional idiots, I wonder if this is some new form of tax dodge or end run around regulations governing ownership of precious metals. Hyperinflation could turn $6M speakers into the cheapest on the planet.
