IFA 2008: Breaking Glass With Harmon Kardon’s Glass Speakers
Harmon Kardon know a thing or two about decent speakers but no one at IFA 2008 was expecting the company to go design mental and introduce the stunningly different GLA-55 speakers. They’re a high-end, two piece speaker system for use use with hi-fis or PCs, and yes, that is cut-glass you’re looking through. They sport a 3.5in mini-jack for hooking you up to audio systems, PCs and even MP3 players. And, being rated at 56Watts you should be able to really drive anyone nearby nuts with these cracking looking audio, glass paperweights. Apparently the company is only going to make 2000 -3000 sets, but at £500 a pair, we’re guessing they’ll make a profit. So,what do we think? Fantastically modern looking speakers or tacky in a Barbara-Cartland-drawing-room kinda way?-Martin Lynch [Harmon Kardon] music speakers design
