First .. sorry had to do it once in my life .. cool though :D
John @ Sep 12th 2007 11:18AM
First? How about a no on that one. :)
This looks pretty awesome, but it'll be at least 2-3 years until we see this available to the general public. :(

Fail.

This looks pretty cool...I wish they would have came out with something like sooner.

i get the concept and the idea makes sense to me. tho it seems like if you had one in your house next to the sofa, and invited some people over to watch the game, it would be a good way to scare the crap out of them due to its non-conventional design :P

Prepare to be flooded.

Someone post this in /b/.
As for the speakers... Groovy. Finally something that really looks 21st century.
Would like to test them first though...

Something like this is genuinely innovative and stylish, yet nowhere near delivery to market. What do Sony give us instead?! F**king Rolly.

I want? This would be so awesome to stick in the middle of a room, so people question "wtf?" and I tell them what it is!
Simon @ Sep 12th 2007 11:28AM
why?
headm @ Sep 12th 2007 12:09PM
why not?

Looks Hawt; it'll replace the stripper's pole I have in the middle of my room.

I was thinking... Acrylic tube, drill, and a bit of inventiveness and you have a speaker bong.
Yasser @ Sep 12th 2007 11:37AM
Mastodon... you've got good taste in music Joshua. It’ll be a good test for the speaker I’d imagine.
Duder @ Sep 12th 2007 3:01PM
Indeed. If it cannot play Birchmen well it must be destroyed.
TIMMAH! @ Sep 12th 2007 11:57AM
In what colors does it light up?
Wesburl @ Sep 12th 2007 12:05PM
Someone give me his IP, i'm at work and lazy....
John @ Sep 12th 2007 12:12PM
mmm, my favorite type of technology; the unreleased kind.
Marshall @ Sep 12th 2007 12:18PM
I like the design but doubt these will ever be released. The NXT speakers do a pretty good job, so it seems like these should work relatively well.

From website translation it also has stereo sound that emanates in three directions from one unit.
"When it fits in classification of usual speaker, it can express 3 way 3 speakers." Qwara translation
So could one walk around it and hear stereo sound from all sides?

Sony is back, when they start making weird tech like this, life is interesting. Let's hope this stuff filters back to the USA
foobarino @ Sep 12th 2007 12:54PM
It'd give new meaning to blown speaker...
mark @ Sep 12th 2007 1:29PM
these speakers look a little too fragile for mastadon ;)
madgamer @ Sep 12th 2007 3:20PM
I know people here hate bose, but they have had a speaker similar to this thats a portable PA for a while now. its called the bose L1 model II: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Bose-L1-Model-II-System?sku=600095

Sounds like an engineering nightmare
