No, that’s not a high-end air purifier – It’s Elac’s $45,000 floorstanding speakerIf your home audio setup doesn’t look like it belongs in a Ridley Scott film, are you even listening in high fidelity? Elac seems to think not. Enter the Concentro M 807, a pair of floor-standing speakers that cost $45,000, look like high-end air purifiers, and may or may not open a wormhole in your living room.
Crafted to celebrate the brand’s 99th anniversary, these floorstanders are far from the polite, wood-paneled speakers of yesteryear. With sweeping aluminum contours and a shape that could double as a spaceship exhaust port, they’re engineered not just for acoustics but for awe.

Elac says they teamed up with a Hamburg-based design studio to sculpt these monoliths in high-gloss black or white, complete with aerodynamic lines that reduce diffraction and boost sound dispersion.
Underneath the alien armor is an acoustic arsenal. Each four-way speaker houses Elac’s VXe 6 array, comprising six midrange drivers arranged in a circle around the legendary JET 6 tweeter, known for its “lightning-fast response and wide dynamic range”. There are five radiation patterns for users to choose from as well, letting you adapt your soundstage depending on whether you’re entertaining guests or brooding alone to avant-garde jazz.

The M 807 also houses dual 250mm (10”) high-performance aluminum sandwich woofers, carefully positioned for “distortion free bass reproduction” and an “authoritative yet controlled low frequency performance”. In addition, the speaker’s down-firing bass reflex system, ensures a more consistent performance across a wide range of room positions, making it easier to integrate powerful bass into any space.
Inside the cabinet lies a bespoke crossover network made from premium film capacitors, air-core coils, and MOX resistors. According to Elac, this ensures precise phase alignment and level integration for a smoother, more natural sound.
The cabinets themselves feature non-parallel surfaces and six-axis milled reinforcements that effectively eliminate unwanted resonances.
“This advanced construction prevents internal standing waves, ensuring clean, uncoloured sound reproduction with exceptional purity and clarity,” says the brand.
At $45,000 per pair, the Concentro M 807s aren’t for casual listeners. But for those who demand sonic perfection and want it housed in something that looks like it fell off a spacecraft, they might just be the future of home audio.
