It sounds like an international policy or a design manifesto but the Swedish Statement is actually an ultra-luxe%uFFFD ($400,000-$450,000) stereo system. The Marten $250k Coltrane Supreme speakers have%uFFFD 1" diamond tweeters and 2" diamond midranges and lots of ceramic drivers. The cabinets are made out of carbon fiber and wood and the big towers function as subwoofers with 9" drivers. The system has a whole bunch of components that don't make a whit of sense to me but apparently deliver big rich sound. Sonic Flare has a couple of posts that demystify the worth of the system and the Swedish Statement website describes the system as "five high end producers putting their statement products in one of the worlds finest audio systems."
