One for all you space age design freaks. If you’re in the market for some futuristic 70s speakers, you’ll be pleased to know that Elipson has re-introduced its Planet speakers.
However, rather than go for the full-on reproduction, Elipson has teamed up with wire-free specialists Parrot to add Bluetooth – which means you can use them around the house without any ugly wires, streaming music from a suitable Bluetooth device – PC, MP3 player or even a mobile phone.
Each Planet speaker is equipped with its own amplifier and both speakers offer a two way 60W bass reflex sound image per channel and a frequency range of 40-20,000Hz. They’re bundled with PC software for tuning and are available in either glossy white or black. Price is between 1000 Euros to 1200 Euros per pair.
