"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.

I loved Image #10, using pen and paper- how quaint. Just kidding...
They look nice, but how do they sound? Dealers in the US?

I think the whole concept is nice. From the layered rings of wood to the old fashioned looking fabric speaker grills, it exudes a '70s kind of vibe that would fit in most decors from modern to bauhaus and most everything in between. 
A well executed concept, in my eyes.

All the best,

It is a nice concept.  

The 'orb' shape should be nice acoustically, no standing waves.  If the interior cu. in. can be matched up to the drivers, there's possibilities there.  I'm surprised they're not ported, which would make sense for such a small object.  Most small bookshelf units are...

I'm trying to be Positive, y'all.  After all the jokes about 'monkey coffins', and the strange variations that some of the speakers we know and love/lust over, a new variant can at least elicit a *S*  And it's not aimed at 'us' (*ahem*)...it's already Bluetoothed (or will be) so there's the market.

Besides...bamboo is pretty impressive.  When laminated, it acts like a hardwood closer to maple.  I have some thick samples in my shop that if you don't pre-drill a hole into it, it snaps screws like twigs.  Bamboo arches, pound for pound, approach steel in it's exhibited qualities.

You want a dense cabinet?  Try a bamboo laminate.  And obviously you can shape it into something other than a ball...
