When engineering takes precedence over looks
@@bryanbassett2110 yep because tweeter and midrange can only function properly with pointy bit behind them.
@@christophedecavalla2941 ...if you actually looked into the design of the speaker you would understand the reason for the "pointy bit"

Remember folks, its not how much it costs, its how much you can convince others its worth
Truism!
It’s worth 0
Especially when the caption says $100K and he says in the video it’s only $50K. Cap! 🧢
@@danfrank-5294 for the pair maybe?
pfff, i got a speaker system thats worth 500,000. source: same as who came up with how much this ugly speaker is worth
I can't imagine a worse way to approach what they just did.
Never let them know your next move.... They killed it.
😂
Very safe way to approach handling a- let me remind you- HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR SPEAKER. They did it like that so they could hitch it on to the platform as gently as possible. I don’t see why it’s a bad technique
@@elstovon Because it is a 100k speaker is why their approach was really poor. The stand should have been vertical and they should have lowered it down with one person guiding from below. Simple, straight forward. They risked scratching the bottom attempting to line up horizontally from a very unstable approach.
@@garagehobbies I disagree about vertical being superior in this context but I do agree the execution of the technique was not great so maybe they should’ve done it the way you said if they aren’t very good at being steady. If they were not so unstable I still think it makes sense to do it their way but idk it doesn’t really matter you’re probably right
They did that in the most awkward way 😅
fr could of had the base flat and just set the speaker on top
Like a slow motion train wreck, my smart watch almost force dialed an ambulance for me.
They're following the manual's instructions.
its so that guy could give orders and feel like he has a sense of purpose in life
@@maxbuckner1465 The internal slope of the cabinet - has been decided upon, for acoustic reasons. High-end equipment like this, has a fixed order of priorities. - And often practicality is one the last
That was literally the hardest way they could have placed that speaker on the pedestal
There's a reason for everything sleepy head
How would have done it?
@MrPCBE please explain then.
Exactly...a bunch of rock baskets!!
Why did they do it that way ?is there some kind of strange connection that needs to be made
That was probably the most difficult way to get that done.
Amen I thought I was watching the 3 stooges at work.
When u holding something expensive all your logic goes out the window and you take your time
probably literally never lifted anything before
For real... why not lay the base over first... 😂
@@gamingbytay4673take your time being illogical, makes sense 👍🏼
This is how you make a 2 person job into a 3 person job.

@@censored4christ162well i hope they can convince someone the lightbulb is worth 200k
The plinth is 92lbs and the speaker is 98 lbs. although it’s possible to install it yourself, it would be much easier with two people - www.audioadvice.com/bowers-wilkins-nautilus-ultimate-loudspeaker-pair
@@Youthmanlay the damn baseflat on the table and you two dudes hoist it up. The dumb move was having the base sideways.
Or put the base on it and dont move the speaker until you need to stand it up. Less than 200 lbs for 2 big guys.
Speaker is ugly btw. 100k is a scam.
@@naysaynetwork5271😂😂😂
Holy shit, you guys made that so much harder than it had to be😂
Agree 😅
That's what I'm saying 🤔🤷.
fr no cap
It looks that's way at first. But, truthfully, they're prioritizing the center of gravity over ease of placement. This makes it safer, but it also stabilizes the process that it can take a bit less energy just over a longer time.
And probably scratched the fuck out of the bottom of it on the stand too lol 🤦🏻
Every time I think I’m stupid, I just watch these guys. 😅😅
😂
I was wondering the same lol
They need to hired a need manger !! Because this guy in charge is going to break it one sooner than later
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
If that’s a 100k speaker someone walked away with 98k in their pocket.
You can clearly hear them in the video saying it is only worth 50k..
But regardless you are right kind sir lol
16k went to an artist to design the shape around the speakers. 1k went into the speakers themselves and 3k went to a color psychologist to choose the best color to embody the nautilus theme and help people relax while listening to the speaker. The other 80k are wrapped in the other 4 nautilus speakers that they dropped trying to stand up through other various means.
@@terrykritsch5047 they are 30-50k per speaker...
@@terrykritsch5047they are 2 people. The 50k mistake was that guys. The other guy gets another 50k mistake. And it says 100k mistake in the caption. School does good sometimes. Other times. Is you
It's all about that salesmanship, albeit I couldn't see those guys selling them door to door like Cutco Knives, or Kirby Vacuum Cleaners. . . Anyone remember those products? (Incidentally, Fuller-Brush has an excellent Ironing Board padded cover. I get a new one maybe every 20 years or so)
That was the most complicated way to put that on a pedestal.
Right like why not put base down flat first and then set it on there lmao
Former mover here. That was painful
There had to have been a reason for that. Possibly all three people were stupid but I'm not sure...

I mean they spent 100 grand on a speaker. Clearly they don't do anything for themselves
@@johndickson377 The guys in the video are the installer, not the buyer of this ugly speaker.
@@famaccount479installer? Mf they are setting it up in public can you not hear the other people talking in the background it's clearly a show piece from a company
@@famaccount479than put the base flat down like a human being. Grab your bazillion dollarino seashell firmly. With two person if needed. Turn it 90 degreezo. It shipped over from somewhere. It won't brake just because you spin it in the air. And put it down gently matching the oval surfaces.
Trying to piece together oval object sideways with hard base and turning them together is childish. Or people who have never moved a piece of furniture. There is absolutely no need to have a third person moving the other piece.

These guys are all management level guaranteed. Making everything take twice as long the most difficult way possible
Yep. These guys are demonstrating CEO level incompetence.

They don't do that eveyday....we do, and they watch the books $
@@georhodiumgeo9827You could never be a CEO even if you gave it all you have, 100%. Youre not competent enough. 😂
Talking about the day they get fired like a true manager. It might cost 100k but that dude wouldn’t hesitate to fire him and his 60k salary over a piece of plastic that cost 1k to make
100k for a sea shell speaker is crazy 😂
Just nice to see that Tim and Eric got real jobs.
As someone who used to be an art handler and had moved many pieces worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, I can confidentially say they did a dangerously horrible job of moving that lol
Edit: To the people asking why. First off none of them are wearing gloves, this makes slips much more likely. One guy is even wearing a watch. If your hand happens to slip while wearing watches it can heavily damage the piece. Secondary, they decided to install the piece to the base sideways. Nothing inherently wrong with that but they made it much more unstable and complicated. Lastly, they dragged the base of the piece against the stand while rotating it, potentially damaging the piece.
Same, ive moved rauchenburgs, picasso, and many lesser known niche painters, and these guys move stuff like its their first day on the job.
@@donzmilky5961 I kinda don’t blame them. Looks like they aren’t in the industry. I imagine they were just asked to install it

Best part is it’s clearly non functional, its just stupid decoration
@@YourTypicalGearhead back of it is not visible... it looks functional to me.
@@YourTypicalGearhead It's the Mclaren F1 of speakers. Its a yardstick. These days there are slightly better speakers but this model has been made for decades
@@N4CR I think he is referring to the floor model that they didn't even secure properly to the base. When they finally secure it, and hook it to a system it will be functional! But you are right, I think they released these back in 1993. It has decent reviews, but nothing that would motivate me to pay that kind of money. I would rather go with KLH if I was spending that kind of money!
@@YourTypicalGearheadyou fool, it’s one of the most iconic sounding speaker out of the market. Sure they let you pay the Firmtag, but the sound is unbelievable.
damn, SpongeBob got Gary a pretty cool shell this time
They made that way more difficult than it needed to be 😆😆
Precisely that… where Kamy when you need him.

@@gavinrussell9841who is Kamy?
Probably just set the granite block into position and then just set the speaker on top of it.

Dude I'm so mad watching this, like really, my guy had to make the mission harder than it needed to be, all the while wearing those cheap ahh sketchers, smh
Yeah. Why the fuck is the base not already flat and the speaker lifted directly on it?
@@Cowcow211
That's what i think too✋️
Yes they did
Michael Scott agrees
For that kind of money I better be able to hear next weeks lottery numbers today.
Now that's funny😂😅
😂😂😂
They overcomplicated that as much as possible....😮💨
At this price they didn't come with a better way to unbox and setup the speaker .
it only costs $900 to manufacture so wouldnt be a problem to make another
At that price there should have been a team of oompa loompas in the damn crate to hop out and set it up.
I think they have done it dumbly on purpose to get more views and engagement
They assume you have at least twelve servants.
Should have made it MORE difficult. Use oven mitts and blindfolds. Hold the speaker upside down, install the marble base, THEN flip everything over. 🤦♂️
Imagine flipping the base first, and just setting it down on it😂
how would u hold the speaker

then I would set one end down and stand it up
no way

@@blackwolfpnw7632erm likely not these days they've been out decades
@@blackwolfpnw7632not the best.
15 years ago I was at a B&W dealer, and one of the salesman said the highest-end 800D at the time arguably sounded just as good as the Nautilus, and was less than half the price.
There are many speakers at $10K that out perform this
If it has to be handled with that much care I feel like it’s gonna break if the volume exceeds 30% 😂
More so has to do with weight paired with cost.
What you're looking at - was only possible thanks to 50 years of industrial /acoustic development.
@@wilhelmbeck8498 while that might be true it doesn’t change the fact that it looks like it’s gonna break if you sideeye it weird
It seems like as soon as you turn it on it's going to vibrate out of whatever hopes and dreams are holding it..
@@BlueSky_fur Those speakers are used in places like Sony studios in NYC, Abbey Road in London. and Skywalker sound studios in Sausalito, CA. - So perhaps they're not that bad ?
Most awkward approach possible. Great job guys.

That was made more difficult than it needed to be
For real, just lay the base down to start with then go set that garbage on top. Two guys max.
These speakers are crazy fragile, you sneeze near them and they break
I want pt 2 where they test them after setting it up
It’s better to hire one more guy than having a slight chance of mistake, that shit looks fragile
Wow, you're telling me that not only is it overpriced, ugly, but it's also weak as shit? Nice investment ya got there. That said thanks for the info.
Its fragile AF, better to be safe than sorry my guy
That is the least efficient way to do that.
yea.. I was about to say.. what if they…. lift it up vertically
I know 😂😂they might have a legit reason but I don’t think so
@@tonya966yt likes 👌
@@tonya966so it seems cool to the zoomers
The have mount clips that got to be inserted a certain way. so if you think you could just dropped the speaker on the base vertically you’d be in for a world of trouble as soon as a slight breeze hits it
Must’ve been the boss’s idea to do it that way.
😂😂😂 facts
It could have been more conveniently kept vertically directly.
😂😂😂😂
Is it because this is an artpiece? I can't imagine this sounding better than a full basement reno of a top of the line home theater
