When your speakers look like beautiful butterflies, your sound will fly to new heights. Oswald’s Mill Audio has released just that in a new two-way speaker. The OMA Monarch Speaker System is two 15-inch woofers in a unique enclosure that deliver outstanding bass even when using the smallest of tube amplifiers.

The wings work. They actually help to load the woofers to deliver better sound. The Monarch is available in several wood types and finishes, but there is no word on pricing yet.

If you have a spare $40,000, these Mark Neumann Coliseum XLS speakers are what you want. Only 13 pairs will be produced. They reproduce audio using 360 degree disbursement capabilities inspired by the grand piano.

Made from wood, these speakers each measure 43.75-inches tall, 18-inches wide and 22-inches deep. They also feature a few 7-inch E7 reference drivers with high frequency tweeters on each channel and a bass system that features two 8-inch woofers with a frequency range of 20Hz to 20,000Hz.

One thing you don’t want id for your children to mess up your shiny iPad. Instead you can give them a wooden anaPad. You can also use this as a magnetic white board with matching application magnets which are made to the exact dimensions of Apple’s iPad.

The anaPad has been created by twigcreative and is available for just $30. It might save your real device from your kids and that is priceless.

The iPad is so…21st century. But maybe you are longing for the good old days of retro TV. Well, don’t worry, this gadget marries both. The wooden retro TV iPad dock is designed to look like a retro television in the good old days of the black and white.

It’s handmade to order so it will fit either your iPad or iPad 2. It will cost you $60. Then all you need to do is get some vintage programs and sit back and watch.

See that alarm dock for your iPhone 4? It does nothing at all. Just holds your iPhone 4 and gives it a place to call home while you sleep or do other things. Just sits there like… Well, like a lump of wood. It comes from designer Jonas Damon and is made from beautiful beach wood.

Your iPhone is going to act as your alarm clock either way right? Might as well give it a decent spot to sit in and class up your place. It won’t charge your device, won’t pump out awesome sound, but it does come with a free app to turn your iPhone into one of those clocks with the flipping numbers.

Snoopy fans will love this iPhone case. Not a Snoopy fan? Well, we can all agree that it beats Hello Kitty right? Of course it does. This Snoopy iPhone case shows Snoopy walking on the moon in a space suit. I guess he forgot to bring his pal Woodstock.

This Snoopy iPhone 4 Jacket will cost you $32.99. It will show off your love for Snoopy every time you use your phone.

This Neo Geo MVS arcade system from Analogue Interactive is made from 100 percent real walnut. The design is sweet and stylish. But do you really want to pay $649 for an old console encased in wood? Then again, that is the same price that the original Neo Geo AES home console sold for when it came out and that didn’t look nearly this awesome.

It’s your call, but to some of us this is bound to be just another thing to spray Pledge on and wipe down. Plus, termites could theoretically kill this thing. But if you are interested, the first units should ship next month.

Kenwood’s new CD player has wood. It is dubbed the U-K525LT and sports a nice retro look, making it both stylish and elegant. It’s based on the existing U-K525 that was released this year. Goes nice with your wood grain Atari console.

Want to spruce up your now outdated old iPad? The best way to do that is to upgrade to the iPad 2, but if you don’t want to do that, then here’s a way to give it an external makeover. The Wasabi collection features five ukiyo-e (woodblock print) designs by the famous 19th century Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai.

My only concern with these is that they seem like they would be heavy. They’re made from African mahogany and will cost you $272 each. Yikes. Heavy and expensive. But they are pretty.

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has said in the past that the company would avoid getting into the content business, however Deadline Hollywood is reporting that it outbid cable channels like HBO and AMC for a new David Fincher drama starring Kevin Spacey.

The show is called House of Cards. The deal is apparently still being negotiated but Netflix will be committing to two seasons which could cost it more than $100 million. This deal if true, puts the company directly in competition with the pay-TV business. Move over HBO and showtime.

Philips has something new for music lovers in the Harmony 8000 series DVD component HiFi system. The system comes with new ClariSound speakers, which deliver the best balance between natural sound, detailed precision and bass tightness.

The Philips Harmony 8000 is constructed using pure aluminum for the casing, real wood for the speaker boxes and glass fiber woofers, giving it a unique design. The system features a 2 x 80W RMS Class-D digital amplifier, a CD player, a DVD player with an HDMI output, 1080p up-scaling and a USB 2.0 port.

While these speakers are inspired by the Sydney Opera House, they look like they belong in Star Trek. They are some good looking speakers, that’s for sure. Most speakers are pretty ugly. There’s the Neso 04 Drop to the nature, the Neso 04 Surrealism and the Neso 2, which is handcrafted from wood. The best ones are the Neso 04 Opera House, pictured above.

No idea how expensive these will be, but they will likely cost quite a bit since you don’t see good looks like this often in the world of speakers.

Hollywood may be using Youtube a bit more soon if Google’s plans to invest in Celebrity YouTube Channels pays off. Google wants to expand its celebrity channels by offering already established stars $5 million dollars to create their own YouTube channel. Google wants to invest $100 million dollars in the project, backing 20 celebrities. The $5 million investment by Google would would cover salaries, production values, and give the celebrity full ownership of the YouTube show.

The company will need to proceed carefully, to make sure that they don’t alienate the existing community of users. It will be interesting to see what happens.
