Despite sounding “narrow” (nope, me neither) these eggshell speakers are beautiful:magnificentlydelicate enclosures now housing an entirely different kind of tweeter than nature intended. The precision-cut shells were stuffed and mounted on clay bases (although they look more like plaster to us) and while you won’t be using them to rock out, according to Japanese maker Gomhi, classical guitar sounds great, and not at all scrambled.
We love them. So much so that we’re thinking of poaching the idea for a project of our own. Of course, we’ll be cranking them up to see just how much the shells can take before they crack in a nerdy, hi-fi themed game of chicken.
