What speakers are these?


Just wondering what speakers these are. I have seen this picture many times and always wondered.

That pic is a joke right? Some sick bastard did not actually make amplifiers out of shoes right?
Gilbert Yeung of BlueCircle did it. He also built the preamp into a matching purse. Long story which he will happily recount.
By the name Gilbert Yeung, i will assume he is a guy?
Why is he playing with Pumps and Purses? Why not make an amplifer out of a beer can? or a whiskey flask? or a DesertEagle 5.0?

kinda fruity.
no seriously...go to blue circle audios website...they really do have them...about 1300 for the purse + pumps...I think they are for the transvestite crowd.

Looks can be misleading. No doubt those little blue amps pump out some current, though I wonder if they are only at their best with proper toe in. Also, while they certainly take a step in a new direction, if I were the designer I would have started with golf shoes to take advantage of the built-in isolation. Lacking actual measurements, I can't say for sure, but I strongly suspect a set of cleats will sound better than a single spike heel by a significant margin. But then, of course, you'd take a hit on esthetics.
