This high quality multimedia ‘Speak-er’ is probably the best piece of gadgetry that is realized this year.  After waiting many months since its first conception, these speech bubble-shaped speakers made from polished white plastic with beautiful black matte steel grill will start hitting production.  No details on tech specs but as good looking as they are, we wouldn’t be too worried about the insides. Available later this year at $120, so you gotta hold your horses.

Steinway Music System Delivers for Audiophiles Who Have It All

Music nuts lust after spatial sound: output so precise you can pinpoint each instrument’s location in the recording hall. Well, the room-size Model C isn’t just spatial, it’s intergalactic. We dare you to listen to this integrated CD player, amplifier, and speaker symphony without jumping up to conduct. While most speakers are sealed boxes, Steinway’s engineers left these open, replicating the resonance of live instruments. And unlike other systems, which convert the audio signal from digital to analog in the amp — many sound-distorting circuits and wires away from the speakers — the C is digital from source to driver. What comes out is as close as you can get to what went in; in fact, it’s so pure that experts can discern a violin’s make and country of origin. The only weak link in this six-figure aural experience might be your musical taste. So lose the Coldplay, moneybags.

Product Description
The introduction of the revolutionary Bose® 901® speakers in 1968 redefined the phrase high fidelity. For the first time, a speaker was capable of reproducing music with much of the impact, clarity and spaciousness of a live performance. Today’s 901 speakers incorporate some 350 enhancements over the acclaimed original. 901 speakers work by reflecting most of the sound off walls and other flat surfaces, instead of aiming all the sound toward you, as conventional speakers do. With Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology, anything you listen tofrom the latest DVD audio to your favorite vintage recordsacquires lifelike realism, because the speakers reproduce the natural concert hall balance of direct and reflected sound. The result is what we call Stereo Everywhere® speaker performancestereo performance that is clear and lifelike everywhere in the room, instead of in just one “sweet spot.” You’ll experience balanced sound throughout the listening environment, no matter where you sit or stand. Just as you enjoy beautiful music reproduction from these speakers, you can also experience thrilling home theater effects from your home theater components. These speakers are an appropriate choice for use with your surround sound receiver, and can be used in conjunction with other Bose home theater speaker options.
