Funky speakers ooze style

Meet the Micropod SE from Scandyna, a Danish speaker company (the country, not the pastry).  Scandyna has been at making speakers for 40 years and does so with a certain flair.  These kind of makes me want to crawl inside one of these and make some honey.

The full feature list is copied below but highlights include: a Kevlar bass/midrange unit, a soft dome tweeter and an extra durable finish.  Hot.  At $199 a pair, performance and style don’t come cheap. 

The maker has some much larger versions that look quite Dr. Seuss-ish, which in my book, is what every designer should aspire too.
