Speakers of Unusual Designs

Posted by Alex in Gadget, Home & Garden, Music, Pictures on July 8, 2008 at 4:28 pm


Freshome blog has a neat post about 17 home audio speakers that don’t only sound good … but they look good too! Well, actually I don’t know about "good" … how about "unusual"?

This one above is the Woofer Speaker System by Buro Vormkrijgers. Yours for only $1,449.00:

Pun intended, the "Woofer" is a co-axial speaker system consisting of two dogs. The custom engineered electronic filters make for great sound, and the aesthetics – well, you’ve definitely got two new best friends.

Here is the list: Link – Thanks M!hai!

    Woofer Speaker System FTW!

    Apart from the creepiness of the whole headless hound from hell scenario, does anybody else see the homage to the great old HMV (His Master's Voice) logo.

    Originally, HMV made gramophones and the logo featured a pup quzzically listening to "his master's voice" coming out of the speaker.

    Inspired.

    Those "Woofers" remind me of the sonic-blast using "Houndeyes" from Half-Life.

    Why would anyone want speakers that resembled a headless dog?

    My guess is those two "best friends" would be your only friends after showing these off.

    I wonder why they are "unusual".

    To expensive. I'll just stuff my dogs with some speakers when they kick off.
