AV objects of desire

Team HCC, fresh from a lottery win, goes shopping for the world's most exotic, most outrageous and most covetable items of home entertainment hardware

Maunakea

Price: From £300,000

A collaboration between luxury TV maker C Seed and immersive audio specialist L-Acoustics Creations, the Maunakea (named after a volcano in Hawaii, apparently) is intended to cover all your AV bases in just one (pricey) go.

It's a two-part system. The first is L-Acoustics Creations' Island Prestige, which the brand bills as a 'sumptuous sonic lounge'. A mix of designer furniture and high-end audio, here this provides an 18.1-channel sound experience (we've actually heard a 22.2 iteration in action, and it was fabulous). You sit in plush circular seating, with speakers squirrelled into the unit all around you.

So far, so cool, but the Maunakea goes further by adding C Seed's M1 TV to the mix. The kind of gizmo Tony Stark would own, this monstrous 165in, 4K resolution Micro LED screen has a unique party trick - it folds into five sections and disappears into the floor when not in use.

'Have you got anything else?' C Seed sells the M1 TV in 137in and 103in flavours. So get one of those for your kitchen/diner.

Wilson Audio WAMM Master Chronosonic

Price: £700,000 per pair

The costliest and most advanced loudspeaker to come out of Utah-based Wilson Audio, the WAMM Master Chronosonic sells for around ten times the price of a Range Rover, and is almost as big. Its 2.1m-high cabinet will come close to tickling the ceiling in some rooms, and the fact it's nearly Im deep, and weighs over 400kg, will also test your interior design skills.
