Chances are you may well of seen a pair of these speakers, they often appear on TV programs and in films.
These curvy pods of aural delight look like cross between a conch shell and a jelly baby. The story goes that some of the guys behind the legendary Nautilus speaks from B & W (£25,000 a pair), decided to go it alone and utilise their talents to produce a more affordable consumer version. The MiniPod is the result, and at around £275 a pair a good deal cheaper too.
The speakers have a kevlar main cone above which sits a tweeter. Below sits a vent to allow the bass frequencies room to develop. They stand on three short alluminum legs with tiny rubber balls on the end (my balls fall off when I move them...) At the rear are the speaker terminals, the nice sprung type that are easy to connect cables to.
So we know they look the part, what about the sound? Thankfully they live up to the looks. The speakers have a great mid range and top end and produce a wonderful mellow sound, great for music. If you intend to use these as a home cinema speaker then the bass can be a little lacking, but there is a dedicated bass speaker available that looks somewhat llike a small kettle drum. That's £500 though and I haven't got round to buying one yet, but I will. There has also been a recent addition of a centre speaker designed with the same great look to sit atop your screen.
Accesories include higher stands, which look a bit silly in my opinion, and some equally curvy wall brackets.
The speakers come in a wide range of colours, I have silver but white, red, blue and black are all out there. There are occasional limited colours too, the Carnaby Blue is particulary vibrant!
All in all a great pair of speakers that are bound to get a mention from visitors and at a reasonable price too.
