But considering that it takes quite a few good electrical engineers to develop a good speaker it might be difficult for a single designer with some knowledge in electronics to develop something competitive, especially since the speaker is tiny, and even good engineers struggle to get good sound of such tiny speakers (if that is even possible). The upper range yes, maybe, but I doubt there will be decent bass.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kadajawi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 14th 2009 11:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Handcrafted Ceramic Speakers are almost too pretty to blast]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/14/handcrafted-ceramic-speakers-are-almost-too-pretty-to-blast/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/14/handcrafted-ceramic-speakers-are-almost-too-pretty-to-blast/</guid><description><![CDATA[You hit the nail on the head dude<br><br>Considering the guy doesn't even have the speaker specs posted on his time (or even the cone composition for that matter) he probably isn't a sound designer.<br><br>These are like the octopus jar spears a few months ago (looked good, but sounded like crap), the entire shape of the speakers reek in the first place...that is a tiny resonating chamber (and I don't even see the vent) <br><br>There are 2 camps of speakers (and headphones for that matter) I have seen... cool designed speakers that look really nice and don't sound that good, and less "cool" looking speakers (doesn't mean they don't look good) that rely on physics for accurately reproducing sound.<br><br>400 dollars? for 10watt speakers? Even Bose doesn't have the audacity to charge something that redicouls. Its not like the designer developed the drivers for these speakers, he probally just bought some of the 10 watt drivers off of digikey or something and glued em in. Sorry, I shouldn't be presuming things, I'm just tired of hipster crap showing up on this site...I prefer real technological innovation. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grammar Delinquent]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 14th 2009 1:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Handcrafted Ceramic Speakers are almost too pretty to blast]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/14/handcrafted-ceramic-speakers-are-almost-too-pretty-to-blast/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/14/handcrafted-ceramic-speakers-are-almost-too-pretty-to-blast/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, I do suppose these will sound better than Bose. It's quite difficult to sound worse than Bose.<br><br>Actually it's just a matter of taste, serious speakers can be really good looking.

This design actually came from a quest for transparent and detailed sound quality in a small enclosure. Everything, from the materials we chose to the type of external amplifier we used to the size of the binding posts, was selected in pursuit of this goal. I did try to make the final design as beautiful as possible, but the overall look is more a reflection of what produced the best sound than my personal aesthetic. <br><br>If you have any other questions about these speakers, just send me an email. I'll also keep checking this thread.<br><br>-Joey]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joey Roth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 14th 2009 7:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Handcrafted Ceramic Speakers are almost too pretty to blast]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/14/handcrafted-ceramic-speakers-are-almost-too-pretty-to-blast/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/14/handcrafted-ceramic-speakers-are-almost-too-pretty-to-blast/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh ok, that sounds better now. Though I'm still doubtful, and I suppose something like entry level Genelecs should sound better.

Though I guess I'll stick with this incredible German piece of handwork called Elac MicroMagic 2.1 BT - might be a little pricier but I never heard anything more incredible coming out of such a small design.

I like the way they are propped up on the wood. It's like the speakers came without the stands, and someone has fashioned their own - that sounds like I'm saying its a bad thing but its makes them interesting. And strangely, the different shades of wood with the ceramic and pink cables shouldn't work together, but they do. Really nice.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[J.
