Looking for some compact speakers that don’t look like all the others? Then check out this funky aluminum audio system from Gais.

The Gais Lisire Series 020 is a complete 2.1 channel sound system featuring distinct cylindrical styling. The Lisire’s aluminum covered ported subwoofer tube measures about 12-inches wide and is flanked by a pair of matching round satellite speakers.

The sub is powered by a built-in 6-watt amp, while the satellites output 2.5-watts per channel. While that certainly won’t rattle any windows, it’s probably just fine for a small bookshelf stereo or to provide sound for your PC.

Initially available only in Japan, the system is now being brought to the states by gadget importer AudioCubes for $199.99.
