LG is targeting this 5.1 audio system at those of us who enjoy a tipple at any time of the day, and fancy having products name after champagne and red wine.
The HT762TZR has 5.1 channels – but the main appeal, admittedly, is the champagne glass-shaped speakers and red wine colour. Quite Similar to previous audio systems such as the HT953TVP, it has a total power of 700W, plus…

Your music will sound louder with the 'Speak-er' speech bubble speaker
Got something to shout out, and your normal rectangle-shaped speaker just won’t cut it? A designer, Sherwood Forlee, has whacked up this humorous speech bubble-shaped unit for that very purpose.

Constant Garden – desktop audio-greenery
Regardless of the function of the Constant Garden, it’s the kind of object I’d love to have on my desk. Plants are soothing and there’s something about the shiny rubberyness of this one that makes you want to touch it as well. I can see myself daydreaming away while absent-mindedly running my fingers through it for hours.
As it goes, each stem of this little green patch contains a mini speaker and the idea from designers Annika Ushio and Vanessa Satele is to provide a device not only capable of playing music but also to be programmed as a desktop personal organiser…

I can’t believe I haven’t ever seen this before, or even thought of doing it to one of my many Munny, Qee, or Bearbrick vinyl toys. A chap over at Instructables has put up his instructions on how to melt the face off a Munny, and insert a speaker in its place.
He used a pair of 3″ Tang Band bamboo fiber cones, however depending on how big your chosen toy is (I’m eyeing off one of my 9″ Qees currently), you could really choose any size of cone for the job…
