New Bamboo Speakers Feedback

@vicweast & @nonoise  here's an image of the back: http://i.imgur.com/wRhQQoY.jpg?1 They have Bluetooth and Aux connection, theres also a Potentiometer on the back.

There's 2 different sizes of speaker the big ones specs are as follows:
- 2 way speaker 
- 5" medium bass driver : 4 Ohm
- 0.5" tweeter: 8 Ohm
- frequency responce 50 - 20,000 Hz +/- 3 dB
- 28cm diameter hand made coiled bamboo shell

The smaller speaker specs:
- 3" full range driver : 8 Ohm
- bass reflex design
- frequency responce 60 - 17,000 Hz +/- 3 dB
- 21cm diameter hand made coiled bamboo shell

Both sizes will also be sold as passive speakers for those of you with your own amp :)

They look cool, but will be for a specific target audience of course.  Some people like earthy, hand crafted style, some people prefer high tech looking design like the latest bose sound link models or items from Sonos.

I can see them doing well in places like Urban Outfitters, and for the collegiate crowd.  Obviously, they have to perform well!  If they don't sound as good as a Sonos Play 5, that would be an issue. 

Are they self amplified?

I have HK Onyx Studio 2 Bluetooth speaker (powered/active of course, about 12"diameter) and it is the bees knees for ~$150 on Amazon. Very nice sound and build quality.   Multiple front and rear passive radiators provide very good bass for the size and cost but sound overall is just a touch warm, clear and an inviting listen.

So from the rear shot provided these might be similar in form and size. How much? Any comparison to the HK possible?

Did you hear about the new speakers made out of hydraulic pressed whole wheat?

Reviews have been very positive except that they can sound a bit grainy at times...

they're raving about the organic sound. They're using a special sandwich construction.
