Salk Sound’s latest speakers, look like they belong in some weird sci-fi flick. They are definitely different. They are dubbed the HT 4 to outdo the current HT 3 line. These babies weigh 155 lbs and stand about 42″ high. Supposedly they can deliver “a very accurate recreation of what you would hear in a concert hall or other live venue.”

They are made of trans-laminated bamboo, but there is a cheaper Medium Density Fiberboard version in the works too.

Nothing says geek like Lego. And nothing ups your status to elite geek like a gold or silver Lego iPod speaker. That’s right, the classic iPod Lego Speaker is now available in silver and gold metallic colors.

They retail for $25 each, but your friends will think you paid more. So go on and bling up that geek desktop. No batteries needed since these suck power from your iPod when plugged in via USB. Go on. Order away. We know you like the shiny stuff. Us too.

You might think that if you have some Transformers speakers, they would…transform. Sadly, that’s not the case with these USB Optimus Prime speakers. The only thing that moves are Optimus’ ears, turning him into Prince Charles or a robot elephant.

Other than that, it will blast your favorite tunes. The only thing that transforms is your wallet, which loses $50 on this pair of desktop speakers.

These PC speakers are stylish and sexy. The Altec Lansing Expressionist Plus Speakers, look pretty sweet and can be used with your PC, or CD, DVD or MP3 player. It comes with a 5.25 inch sub-woofer and two satellite speakers all in a small package.

We’ve seen our share of speakers here at the ‘Brick, but they aren’t always so nice looking. These are definitely worth a closer look. Tuck the compact subwoofer under your desk or on your desktop. If you like what you see, the set will go on sale later this month for only $99.

Some people really love transparent gadgets. Sometimes they can really beautiful, but sometimes they just look like 2 giant transparent bullhorns with a woman wearing a nightgown in between. This is a new design from Ferguson Hill dubbed the FH001.

The horn speaker pumps out 3 to 50 watts, so it isn’t much of a speaker, but they are green. How are they green? Well, the speakers are made of clear acrylic and have a ultra high efficiency design. There’s also a spherical subwoofer that looks like a fishbowl.

Kerchoonz has announced the K-box, a portable device about the size of the iPhone, that will turn your tables, walls and other flat surfaces into giant speakers. It works by plugging into your laptop, portable gaming device, netbook, mp3 player etc, that is equipped with a headphone jack.

Just set it on a desktop, table top or wall and with its internal patented gel audio technology, it will turn the entire surface beneath it into a giant speaker, with some fantastic bass sound. I wonder if it will honk off the neighbors in your apartment building if you just put it on the wall and crank up the tunes?

Designer Philippe Starck and Parrot have teamed up to release a home sound system designed for iPod, iPhone and other digital audio sources. They call it the Zikmu and it features a pair of 2.5-foot black monstrosities that look like trumpet ends.

The system is shipped in a recyclable package designed to look like a musical instrument’s carrying case. The system can also stream music from any PC or Mac over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth A2DP wireless technology. It features a class-D amplifier rated at 100W RMS, and the speakers can output frequencies from 50Hz up to 20kHz.

Looking for a pair of speakers to impress your friends with? These Kenwood SP0001 transparent speakers should do the trick. Maybe. I’m not sure. They’re cool, but something about them is very washer/dryer like. If you like transparent washers/dryers then this is gold.

They must look better than they sound however, with a disappointing 10Wx2ch, with 8Ω power, yet costing €765. It comes with a matching pair of stands with white and blue LEDs.

Is your current fireplace not doing it for you? All it puts out is heat, but you want something that puts out heat and sound. Well, the CalSpas FRP4300 has you covered. It features an integrated iPod dock complete with speakers. Because what else is your fireplace doing after winter?

Pump out the heat and the tunes in winter while keeping cozy and downing some hot chocolate. I don’t think the CalSpas FRP4300 Fireplace will come cheap, but it’s worth it because your friends fireplace doesn’t do all that.

I know what you’re thinking. You’ve never seen such a fine specimen of speaker technology merged with Wiffle ball design. I couldn’t agree more. Kenwood’s Squeezophone 360° speaker is similar to the insanely expensive Sony Soutina speakers, pumping music in all directions with acoustic technology.

We don’t know much else because it’s still in the development stages. We feel pretty confident it won’t be cheap. Making things look like Wiffle balls is an expensive business. I applaud their creative genius and their willingness to venture into such uncharted territory.

The Zalman ZM-RS6F+M 6-Channel Surround Sound Headphones + Microphone is as close as you will ever get to being that Lobot guy from Empire Strikes Back. I always wondered what that guy’s deal was. It was surround sound!

It’s from Brando. These Real Surround Sound Headphones produce a real surround field that is said to be comparable to a complete multi-channel speaker system as it will enhance directional, spatial, and realistic effects. Only $57.00 and you can be that guy! Now be honest fellow geeks, how many of you actually knew that character’s name?

We’ve covered many an iPod speaker dock, but to my knowledge this is the first one that actually moves. The Bless Automatica Remote Control Car with iPod Speakers is just what it sounds like. An RC car pimped out with a pair of speakers that you can plug your iPod into.

It truly is music on the go with this iPod speaker set. Just get your music going and take it for a spin. The car can not only hold a set of speakers but can also be used as a CD holder or tray to deliver items to people via remote.

Most speakers, though they may deliver great sound, just sit there doing nothing more than sounding off. These QPD speakers however do a little more. They’re motorized so they can do things like park themselves back into the ceiling or wall and disappear from sight.

That way when you aren’t using them, no one knows they are there. Pretty cool. And they won’t take up any extra room in your environment, while letting you add as many as you want, anywhere you want.

Camping used to be about getting away from technology and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But most camping gadgets and accessories these days are designed to make sure you still take some technology with you. Like this Coleman Inflatable Mattress. It features built-in speakers, insuring that while you are being one with nature, you also are never far from your tunes.

Just plug in your iPod or CD player and listen. Coleman also makes a model with a built in alarm clock, which is pretty handy if you’ve left your cellphone at home. All of these inflatable mattresses have a 4D pump, which is battery powered and hands free for easy inflation and deflation.

Canton is adding three new loudspeakers to its flagship line of Reference speakers. These new models, the Reference 5.2, 7.2 and 9.2, price for around $10,000, $7,000 and $4,000 per pair, respectively.

The Reference 5.2 and Reference 7.2 are three-way floor standing loudspeakers, and the Reference 9.2 is a two-way monitor speaker designed for pedestal mounting. Canton says these speakers are most notable for their aluminum oxide ceramic dome tweeters. This offers “a smaller dome radius and significant improvements in power handling and distortion characteristics.”
