speakers made from china – made in japan

These compact speakers feature enclosures made entirely from an unlikely material, porcelain.

According to Japanese designer, Noboru Kawamura, the china construction is said to provide a warm, tender sound that traditional wood or plastic enclosures can’t achieve.
Each speaker measures about 5″ (w) x 5″ (d) x 6″ (h), so they’d look nice sitting on a bookshelf. I couldn’t find out the maximum wattage for these, but I can’t imagine that they can crank out enough amplitude to crack their own fragile enclosures.
They’re available from the shop with the best name ever, Boo-Hoo-Woo, for ¥48,000 a pair (about $392 US dollars.)

Cool speakers! Since when is plastic “traditional”?
Well, you’re right that they weren’t using plastic in the Victorian era or caveman days, but the dictionary police tell me: “traditional: characteristic manner, method, or style” I would say that most cheap desktop speakers are characteristically made out of plastic.
