Sexy twisted speaker looks like it was designed by a Jenga fan
A lot of really expensive high-end audio gear tends to look like it was designed by someone who wouldn't know good styling if it hit them on the head, but every now and then we come across something truly exquisite.
The Teti Extreme speakers from Book Of Music are a good example, and like many really stylish things, they come from Italy. While they may look like a giant Jenga game that's just about ready to topple over, but you've got to admit that the twisted shape is pretty cool looking.

Naturally the Jenga tower isn't there just to look cool, because unlike most speakers, the Teti Extreme doesn't back up the drivers with a conventional enclosure. By building the tower as an open framework, the spaces between the supporting panels allow the drivers to work in free space.
Unfortunately all of this style doesn't come cheap. In standard finishes a pair of Teti Extremes runs a tad under $20,000 a pair, with custom finishes pushing the total up a bit further. Still, no price is too high when you can shout "Jenga" as your toddler pushes one over.
