Engadget had a post about the brand new Mt. Everest Speaker System from JBL. True to their name, the speakers are huge, measuring 38 x 18.5 x 44-inches and weighing over 300 pounds. They offer, as Engadget so eloquently put it "500 watts of thump" - which is precisely all you might hear if you turn these boys up to full power. They'll be available in Japan at the end of the month with a price tag of just about $30,000.
