Blue room s alien minipods

I personally think they look good, that's pretty much all I know about them and since my knowledge of sound is limited, I'd like some avice.

My tastes in music are pretty ecclectic, but I mostly listen to electro, experimental, d&b which I spin on sl1200 turntables, as well as a good dose of Malher, Brukner etc. I'm not looking for power and bass (I'll eventually buy a sub), but I'd still like the music to be audible when I'm in the next room.

Their retail price is 450$, if you have any better suggestions for the same price or "less" .

These were designed and I think also manufactured by B&W ??

Yes they did make them, one of the Nautilus if I remember. They released the huge shells around the same time as well I think. But the retail prices are ridiculously higher (4000$+ for a pair or something similar).

Any advice on what to power these little toys with?

I just ran across the Pods in LA earlier this week but did not have time to audition them, will try next week. The spec sheet stated 90db @ 1 watt @ 4ohms, so they should be easy to push if the impedence is fairly level. The cabinet was made of plastic and they seemed very light, around 5 lbs each I would guess. I thought that they were cheesy (plastic), but cute looking.
