Speaker manufacturers love to put their products in wacky cases to differentiate themselves in a crowded marketplace. Sometimes that can result in cool design, but most of the time it results in speakers that are neat to look at but would make your apartment look like it was in the process of being redone by a crappy interior decorator from the 22nd century if you actually bought them.

These M's System cylindrical stereo speakers straddle the line between being too zany for their own good and being just slick enough to be usable. It's tube-shaped design might look a little awkward in your living room, but its classy wood finish should make up for it and help it to blend in to its surrounding. Not to mention the sound quality, which is supposedly exquisite. And that's more important than looks, right? Right? — Adam Frucci
