Bob Turek’s speaker system, called “Stereo”, is a bit… unusual.
It’s part of his Object Remix series, and Stereo “forces the music source into the center of attention and creates a radically new user interface”.
Putting a hand built stereo amplifier inside of a fiberglass mannequin with an MP3 player and speakers attached to and protruding from the naughty bits and pieces probably isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but if you want a speaker system that’s hard to ignore, I can’t imagine one (or would prefer not to) that’s better than this.

Though it probably makes peddling a bit harder, these mobile sound systems put the party on wheels.
A new trend in Queens, bike stereos give those that are too young or can’t afford an auto a chance to rock out on the go, with car batteries powering thousands of watts of amps, subs, and speakers.
It might not look pretty, but it gets the job done.

With a few spare speakers and a pair of Ikea salad bowls, you can make your very own Low-Cost Spherical Speaker Array. The design of the speaker radiates sound in a very natural way, similar to the way in which an instrument radiates sound. Plus, they just look cool. Is there anything that Ikea can’t be used for?

These “Woofer” speakers might not knock socks off the audiophile living next door, but who cares what they sound like with looks like these. With a definite pun intended, the Woofers look like man’s best friend (sans heads of course) but sound far more sophisticated. Available in either black or white (which color was Fido again?), they’re sure to get conversations started at your next house party about as quickly as that story you tell about eating that goldfish in college.
