Tower of audio power

If there's one thing you can surely trust Sony to do, it's to stoke our technolust with innovative new audio products. With the introduction of the Sountina nondirectional speaker, Sony continues that tradition. The 180-cm tower of sound, which includes a subwoofer, looks like it was built by NASA and has a full array of specs that are guaranteed to arouse your ears.

The organic glass tube can also be lit up by three color LEDs at the base of the tower. Inputs include analog RCA as well as digital and optical, so you won't have any trouble integrating it within your current setup. Do note that the Sountina falls in the high-range category of audio gear — reminiscent of Sony's now-defunct Qualia line — with a corresponding high-range price tag of ¥1 million.
