I'm not sure if having speakers be encased in lovely wooden balls helps their sound quality out at all, but that's probably not the point. These speakers, the Sound e-Motion M100-20 BFs, look downright awesome.

And while yes, the shape supposedly "minimizes baffle distortions" and offers "polar sound distribution," at the end of the day you aren't buying them for such nonsense features. You're buying them because they're sweet-looking balls of wood with speakers inside. Did I mention that they stand a serious meter high? Yeah, these aren't just pretty desk speakers. And with no list price available, you know that they're gonna set you back a serious amount.
