If you have ever been a musician, music enthusiast or just appreciate the finer things in life, you'll know immediately who Steinway &amp; Sons are and if you don't you should. They have been known to make some of the finest, if not THE finest piano's in the world for 150 years. The very name is a mark of excellence.  Peter Lyngdorf and the Steinway &amp; Sons have collaborated to bring you the Steinway S15 Speaker system.

This Steinway Lyngdorf company has created the "S-Series" <a title="speaker system" href="http://www.pinstripemag.com/2009/11/livespeakr.html">speaker system</a>.  It's a 2.1 audio system, offering true-to-life sound in a compact or sub-compact size.  Watch out Bose! They might make one the commoners can afford.  The hardware is beautiful to look at, refined and distinguished in it's craftsmanship, they use a patent-pending technology called AER (Ambience Enhancing Radiation) dipole tweeter design.  Essentially AER technology adds a rear firing cone style tweeter design to enhance the ambient sound, hence the name Ambience Enhancing Radiation.

Similar to the Bose reflective technology, the Steinway S15 speakers also uses a reflective type technology but Steinway's uses Room perfect™ technology which adapts the sound depending on the room is architecture and the objects in it from the feedback it receives from the room analysis. This is not completely on the fly and does require some set up, But chances are if you bought these and are confused, you can afford to pay a geek to help you out. You can combine these with any Steinway Lyngdorf <a title="speakers" href="http://www.pinstripemag.com/2011/06/dolcegabbana-gentleman.html">speakers</a> and use them as satellites.

One thing this speaker comes with (and a huge one at that), is a price tag of $22,000. 
Cost you about as much as a Harley.
