TONE AUDIO NO.54<br />
Trying to bring music into a<br />
contemporary living room without<br />
upsetting one’s significant other can<br />
be a vexing task. A big rack of gear<br />
never seems to solve this problem,<br />
so something more stylish is usually<br />
required. Designer Joey Roth’s<br />
Ceramic Speaker and Subwoofer<br />
system, priced at $1,095, presents an<br />
excellent solution for those seeking<br />
playback with some serious style. The<br />
satellite speakers, which look a little<br />
like a pair of outdoor floodlights, fuse<br />
modern art with functionality; they<br />
blend into your living space easily, yet<br />
almost always spark conversation.<br />
The Ceramic Speaker and<br />
Subwoofer embody the Scandinavian<br />
minimalist design approach. The<br />
4-inch, aluminum-capped, 89-dB<br />
efficient drivers are flush-mounted, with<br />
a 1-inch porcelain edge at the center<br />
creating an eyeball look. A cork plug is<br />
used both as a mount for the binding<br />
posts and as a tight seal for the casing.<br />
A 15-watt-per-channel Tripath amplifier,<br />
in an aluminum baking-soda-box-sized<br />
shell, provides the juice. (continued)<br />
