I think this is just silly!

(I really didn't know where else to put this but there are loudspeakers involved.)

I laughed so hard when I saw this. 30K?

Potential ad copy:

Eight Feet Wide...Seven Hundred Pounds...Ten Thousand Watts...Thirty Thousand Dollars...
Glorious mp3 Sound.

What's not to like? This stuff practically sells itself!

Do they offer an optional backpack for the "on the go" audiophool?

There is an optional battery pack, but I would hardly call it portable.

I guess they make them to order. I wonder if anyone has actually bought one in the last couple of years?

I'd consider it if it came with a beer tap and a couple of bar stools. Otherwise, probably not.

I think it's refreshing that someone at Behringer has a good sense of humor and the they allowed their name to go on this "product"!
Even the price is a dig at the industry - $29,999.99.

Of course it's a spoof, I was thinking it worked really well as a check in desk for the Behringer employees, as that's what it looked like they were using it for in the pic. At $30k I wouldn't consider it, but at $29,999.99, such a deal.

It was built as a display to generate a Behringer buzz at trade shows (note the models showing it off) - which it did. And if someone for God knows what reason wanted to buy one, well they still have the plans and could build another one (or two?).

If it can fit in a pickup truck or SUV, someone will buy it. Then we'll see it on one of those reality/customize my car shows.

I completely approve and want two... of the booth babe's pictured.

If that monstrosity attracts them; I suppose I'll get one

The much more manageable iNuke BOOM Junior almost seems to small and cheap after seeing papa. Looks like a pretty good deal at the moment.

Meh, the one on the left looked good after a couple of Martini's, not so great the next morning. Of course, that series of observations has happened before....

Although according to the review it still manages to play 6 dB louder than the competition - and it's on sale for $80 now at Costco:
