Those of you that have your pads decked out in a 2001: A Space Odyssey theme will appreciate these speakers from Oh by Tutondo. They’ll fit right into your Sci-Fi theme and they’re also equipped with a centralized system so the whole house can enjoy the sound quality.

You can attach the speaker to any wall or ceiling, thanks to it’s multi-position design. Pricing starts at about €400 for the speaker with ground support and will cost you as much as €2500 for a home theater system consisting of 2 speakers with ground support, 3 speakers with multi-position support, and 1 active subwoofer.

Anyone in the market for a high-end loudspeaker should take a moment to check out the latest release from Anthony Gallo Acoustics. The company has announced an upgrade to the Reference 3.1 loudspeaker with the Reference 5LS, measuring 78 inches tall but just 7 inches wide and 11 inches deep.

According to AGA, this loudspeaker, which has all speakers inline vertically, has come closer than any other of its kind to becoming omni-directional with a 300 degree dispersion. The vertical speaker arrays consist of seven of AGA’s CDT II tweeters alternating with eight 4″ carbon fiber mid-range drivers. The back side then holds a set of twelve 4″ subwoofers that equal the surface area of a single 15″ driver, but speedier due to the smaller size.

Klipsch is expanding its line of upscale Palladium speakers by adding the P-38F and P-37F floorstanders, P-17B bookshelf speaker, P-27C center channel, P-27S surround and P-312W subwoofer. These new speakers are pricing at around $12,000 (per pair), $8,000 (per pair), $4,000 (per pair), $3,500, $4,000 (per pair) and $4,000, respectively.

These new speakers join the Palladium P-39. Klipsch had this to say about its new speakers:

The folks over at Canton really love to do up classy speakers which push our credit cards towards the limit. The latest are the Chrono 511 DC tower and the compact Chrono 501 on-wall speaker, priced a little more reasonably at around $1,400 and $425, respectively.

Canton said both speakers make use of the “ADT-25 aluminum-manganese dome tweeter. The tweeter employs a one-piece aluminum-manganese dome and voice coil former.” What this reportedly does is provide better sound performance.

The new Yamaha YSP-3050 certainly isn’t the first sound bar speaker system we’ve previewed, but its features show it may be one of the coolest. It will cost you though at around $1,400.

The Yamaha YSP-3050 is described by its maker as a digital sound projector and it is designed to work in conjunction with a HDTV. It can be wall mounted or placed on a shelf for this purpose. General features include 1080p HDMI support, multi-channel surround sound and video up-conversion.

Designer speakers don’t necessarily do much to add to the high quality audio they produce, but they still look good doing what they do. A case in point may be the recently announced Loiminchay Audio Degas, price unknown.

The Loiminchay Audio Degas are handcrafted in a design technique described as layer by layer using Birch MultiPly laminate. The speaker cabinets are bored out then finished with sixteen coats of hand-polished lacquer. Lamb’s wool filling is even reportedly used in the speaker enclosure as well.

You probably know this already, but the iPhone and unshielded speakers don’t mix very well when they are close. It always ends in a buzzing noise. Well, one clever person came up with a solution that’s nothing more than a hand cut Red Bull can and double stick tape.

Of course it’s possible that it will hurt your reception, but it doesn’t seem to be that noticable. Red Bull is optional, any flavor drink would probably work. I think I would prefer a Mountain Dew or Dr. Pepper.

There is something a bit cheeky about a company who calls itself Genius. Still, I have looked at several Genius products over the years and for the most part they tend to perform well. The latest product from Genius has been announced and it is called the SP-T1200 2.0 Touch Speaker System.

As you might surmise from the name of the product, the speakers are controlled with the touch of a finger. Users are able to control the volume, bass, and treble by sliding a finger across the front of the speakers. The slide bar illuminates as you move the finger across the bar to show what level settings are at.

One of the worst things about a home theater aside from the wires is that the speakers tend to be big and bulky. Larger speakers often sound better, but they are hard to hide and can really mess up the looks of a room (so says my wife).

To go along with the new line of Sony Bravia HDTVs I wrote about this morning Sony has released a HT-IS100 Bravia Theater Micro System. The system is designed around five tiny speakers that are each about the size of a golf ball or a strawberry.

Klipsch announced today some great looking new speakers which it says put out extremely great music. The speakers are the new W series and you’ll find them pricing as follows when they become available later this month – around $1,500 for a pair of WF-35 floorstanders, $1,200 for a pair of WF-34 floorstanders, $600 for a pair of WB-14 bookshelf models, $500 for each WC-24 center channel and $750 for a pair of WS-24 surrounds.

Klipsch said the speakers in the Icon W Series will be available in solid wood grain with two different finishes and that they will also sport new horn engineering. You can get the full details of these new speakers after the jump.

JBL has rolled out some new speakers it says are uniquely shaped to provide multiple installation options depending upon your space. They are called the Control Now speakers and they are priced at around $250 each ($280 for an outdoor version).

The JBL Control Now speakers sport a curved, quarter-round shape to let them be corner mounted, placed on a shelf or hung in a variety of places by themselves or joined to create half-round, three-quarter-round, or round configurations.

iHome, announced the iH69 and iH70 speaker systems for Mac and the PC. Now, you can dock, charge, play and sync your iPod directly to the computer via the actual speakers, which is nice for convenience and because it eliminates some wires extra wires. The all in one speaker solution will also save you space.

The speakers are compatible with all docking iPod models, and are designed with high-fidelity Reson8™ speaker chambers for premium power output, sports a computer port, sync switch, volume controls and a headphone jack for private listening. Both models are currently available for pre-order on iHomeaudio.com and will be available soon nationwide for $99.99 and $129.99.

Creative has launched a new addition to it’s line of portable speakers with the TravelSound for the iPod nano. This one-piece speaker attaches to the docking port of Apple’s nano and pumps out the sound to share with others. This new TravelSound speaker appears very similar to the TravelSound i50 that we saw last fall for the iPod nano, and the design is no doubt inspired by it.

The new TravelSound portable speaker is relatively small and lets the 3rd generation nano fit right into the design giving it an overall thickness of less than an inch with 3.9 inches in total height. It also comes with a little plastic stand, and if you can keep from losing it since it’s not attached, will provide a safer rest for the speaker with your iPod in it.

Pump up the volume during your next pool party, with this floating system. The waterproof Radioraft will have your tunes pumping and jumping a full 360 degrees with five speakers and a built-in ipod dock.

It’s a completely submersible radioraft, with 400 watts of power, that will give you 8 continuous hours of play time, with 6 stainless steel cupholders, a watertight glove box to protect your iPod with controls on the top. So, yeah, they basically took a bouy and put in some cup-holders and speakers. Oh, and an iPod dock. All for the outrageous price of $2000. Your pool party guests had better be paying at the door.

For those of you who love Hello Kitty, check out this new pink Hello Kitty themed mobile phone which includes a Hello Kitty-themed speaker system. It runs on GSM 900/1800 networks and comes with a 2.2-inch 260k color screen with 176 x 220 pixels, 1.3-megapixel camera, microSD expansion slot (512MB), integrated MP3 player, 16-LED flash sidebar, USB connectivity and preloaded with games that will brainwash you into thinking “pink” and buying more stuff with a kitty on it.

The phone even has a shake control feature for the music player where you can shake it for the next track. No word on pricing and availability. Yeah, I know, another damn Hello Kitty product. What are ya gonna do? Resistance is futile at this point. I put a bullet in a Hello Kitty MP3 player once and it just reformed, got up and spawned a new product. I ran for like 2 days and they just kept multiplying. They finally left me alone when I bought my Hello Kitty toaster. They just wanted me to conform. That’s all. It’s cool now.
