NXT x XOUNTS

The trend towards designer speakers that focus on aesthetics rather than technical specifications seems to be growing. I am not sure how NXT does it, but they continue to find companies to create with “innovative” ways to use their flat speaker technology. The latest comes from a company out of Switzerland called XOUNTS, which offers wireless speakers with a choice of “skins” for the ultimate in chic home decor. The 2.1 system even packs in a light source which, when lit, reminds me of Chinese lanterns…except these play music and naturally, there’s also a wireless iPod option available. Pretty sweet.
