Speakers for the guy with it all


I have a friend is always looking for the ultimate in home stereo speakers....though these might not be the best they are the most unusual...and they would look pretty damn good! O'hEocha Speakers look very futuristic, with a design that seems as though it may have been taken directly from a science fiction movie, and offer some of the best performance - three-dimensional soundstage performance, to be specific - that you can find. The 200-watt isobaric speakers are handcrafted in western Ireland from aircraft grade aluminum and a PVC/steel composite. Each has three main components. On top, each speaker has a 1-inch tweeter drive that "minimizes resonance transfer from midrange to treble." Below that, the units have 6.5-inch rotating drive units that allow you to aim the sound for optimum quality and sound experience. Each also has an 11-inch subwoofer that "generates thunderous bass" at frequencies as low as 25Hz. The entire design is geared towards minimizing any potential sound wave distortions and as an added precaution, the legs of each speaker taper to a pinpoint where they meet the floor to minimize resonance transfer. Price: $9,000.
