we can’t attest to the sound quality of this pair of Designer Concrete Speakers: Prototype, but as far as looks go, we can’t deny that it is a real looker and something of a conversational piece. naturally, the concrete here is not quite the concrete with large aggregate as used for buildings, but it is of glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) in a very sculpture-like shape (actually, the shape was molded out of melamine bowls) and as you can see, it has wood material where the titanium cone full-range driver is seated and also at the back, where the audio terminals can be found. each pair is handcrafted by Etsy seller The Makerage and capable of delivering up to 50W of audio power. concrete is actually a great material for speaker enclosure as it is structural stiff and damps out vibrations efficiently. the only downside is, it is quite a heft to deal with, but that said, the heft could be an advantage in stabilizing the speakers too. anyway, you can request a custom order if you don’t fancy the shape The Makerage is offering. in any case you want a piece of this, expect to shell out a cool $499 for a pair.
