Japan’s Rin Standing Speaker Emphasizes Visual Quality Over Sound Quality

Share      

Not that we’re saying the Rin doesn’t sound good-there’s no way we can tell without hearing it-but it seems to us anything that looks this weird can’t be something audiophiles will want show off to their audiophile friends.

The unit’s made from a combination of imported Italian marble and Japanese engineering, which means it’s both high quality and expensive.

In any case, the whole situation makes for a weird speaker system that supposedly sounds great because sound eminates like ripples on a pond. Which makes me want to pee, not rock out.
