The Sound Enhancing Ceramic Speakers

These are the speakers that reveal subtle details in music through a vibration-dampening ceramic bell. Handcrafted from artisanal-quality porcelain—an ideal acoustic medium because it doesn't distort sound waves—the gramophone-like horns resonate like the bell of a trumpet to guide crisp sound to the listener. The speakers deliver 15 watts per channel on 4" full-range drivers, and are particularly effective on vocal, acoustic, Classical and other types of music in which the delicate nuances of a performance can be brought to the fore. The minimalist stand is made of Baltic birch with cork enclosures that further dampen sound distortions. The streamlined amplifier, which showcases the cabling through its open construction, comes with stereo outputs for each speaker, a single stereo input, a volume slider and an on-off toggle. The 16-gauge speaker cables terminate in banana plugs, and connect directly to iPods, computers, TVs, turntables, and digital music players. Includes RCA and headphones jacks. 16" H x 12" W x 11" D.
