If admiring a pair of Acora Acoustics speakers up-close inspires a sudden desire to cut some broccoli or wash the dishes, it's probably because they're handcrafted from naturally flecked granite, similar to some bespoke countertops.

Two months ago, at the Tampa audio show, I got better acquainted with Acora Acoustics and its flagship speaker, the VRC. These speakers made some of the most impressive music at the expoas they should for a price north of 200 grand. For 15% of that small fortune, could an Acora speaker further down the line, like the SRC-1 ($35,000/pair), keep pace? I found out in Mimic Audio's dealer room on the hotel's 12th floor, where a high-level UN meeting of sorts was going on, with brands from four countries.
