Columino Speakers

2007_03_15 columino.jpg

Cones are in? Dirt Devil has the Kone vacuum and now Audio Technica has the Columino speakers. The floating look is achieved through the use of a thin rod while the speaker fires down into the circular base for dispersion. We are all for innovative and stylish home electronics, and coming from Audiotechnica we can be pretty confident that the sound quality will be good. Unfortunately the shape and blue LED comes across more like a lava lamp than a sleek set of speakers.

Can I connect my IPod directly to it?

I've never heard a plastic speaker that sounded good...

Maybe these do sound good but I personally wouldn't buy any speaker not in a wood housing, at least not for serious listening (Pink Floyd is in my "serious listening" category as is some Metallica).

If these are just for PC/Mac/iPod use, they're probably fine. Probably not something you'd want in a media room though...
