Sony Sountina

Those looking for the most stylish, minimalist speaker system around would do well to take a look at the Sony Sountina ($11,800). This six-foot tower/speaker is made from glass, with cylindrical speakers that emit sound in a 360-degree circle to provide equal audio quality regardless of the listener's position. Other features include a 13cm woofer, a 7cm mid-range driver, and interior lighting that alternates displaying blue, amber, and purple.
