The Giant Phillips Head Speakers Are Sizzling Hot

When it came to speakers, one could never say that there was a wide array of models to choose from, and, in time, there were rather few major leaps in terms of design. Yet, we've gotten to see that the last couple of years have brought quite a heap of interesting items boasting functionality and elegance and trying to take loudspeaker design to places never explored before. The Acoustic Lens, a technology perfected by Bang&Olufsen, has spread throughout the industry and designer shops and it is currently adopted in an increasing number of new speakers. Such is the case with the Giant Phillips Head Speaker, or Affordable Surround Speaker system, as Kwangjo Lee, its designer, calls it.

In a world obsessed with ergonomics and constantly confronted with the diminishing personal space available, audio gear like the Affordable Surround Speakers can really spell success.

The best thing about these speakers is that their creator decided to change the way the proper drivers have been loaded inside the cabinets: they've been placed horizontally instead of vertically and this gave way to a whole new dimension of ergonomic design. The speakers themselves became flat and sported a minimal height, while their tops kept their value as usable space. The acoustic lens effect has been fully put to work in these speakers and the sonic dispersion obtained is indeed better than what any traditional speaker could offer.

4 miniature flat speakers correspond to the similar channels in a 4.1 array, while a larger one houses the subwoofer. Everything looks truly diminutive, yet nothing has been cut from any side: these speakers can definitely perform like any common ones would, but the innovative architecture provides them with a smaller volume and, by all means, greater looks.

And as if things were not looking spectacular enough, Kwangjo Less added a very funny Phillips screw head design to the acoustic dispersion elements, making things look like giant bolts screwed in your desk through immense washers. And when a light strip was attached, things started to really look royal. Once more, pray some manufacturer sees them and decides to go popular. Kudos to Kwangjo Lee!
