Steinway Lyngdorf Model D Music System
The piano company has partnered with Danish sound engineer Peter Lyngdorf and launched their first joint product.
It comprises two speaker units, each over 6½ feet high with seven individual speakers, and a central 40-inch-high head unit.
You choose the custom veneers to match your interior design palette.
According to a Financial Times story, "... the sound quality is unmatchable thanks to an onboard computer that dovetails the system's audio output to the shape and acoustic qualities of your room."
$150,000 and up.

And these, very expensive, computer-driven speakers are only as good as the input - GIGO (assuming that the signal processing system doesn't color the sound in ways that the artist never intended).
How about these alternatives:
(1) www.bang-olufsen.com/page.asp?id=40 (a computer geek's speaker)
(2) www.klipsch.com/products/details/60th-anniversary-klipschorn.aspx (Hard to beat for classical)
(3) www.us.martinlogan.com/speaker_intro/summit.html (if you have the power these have the sound)
(4) www.ohmspeaker.com/styles_walsh.cfm (perhaps the most innovative design in high-fidelity speakers)
(5) www.orbaudio.com/ (great price, good sound)

Few rooms can take large lumps of gloss black. Looks nice till you get it home! I know - we replaced an old dying CRT telly a couple of months ago with a flat thing. It was "piano black" but it was also cheap. Now I've resprayed it two-tone silver it looks far more in keeping with the room. Taking a brand new telly apart is a bit nerve wracking though.
