Behold, that which is pictured above is in fact a new sub woofer, the HTB2SE-W, designed by KEF. AT $1,200 retail, this sub woofer is by no means for the light-pocketed, though for this price one gets a 10-inch driver powered by a 250 watt amplifier - while simultaneously streaming your music wirelessly.The design above may be considered futuristic, almost space-ship like. The design very effectively misconstrues one's natural expectation of audio devices, though does it do so effectively?
I most certainly feel that it does. The glossy black oval screams futuristic technology - a union of smooth, rounded curves consumed with a plethora of advanced technology innards. The left perfect circle reminds me of the speaker covers of 80's boom boxes, though with one, this device is just a more effective cyclops. It is the perfect combination of form and function. One could place this on a table acting as a metaphor for a vase of flowers, or next to their glossy black, rectangular widescreen - giving an effective, yet subtle, contrast. But instead of just being visually appealing, we may saturate the room with wonderful, wonderful music... who can compete with that?....
