The Edifier Spinnaker Speaker may look like it was made out of a rhinoceros' tusk, but it simply has an eerily similar shape. A refreshing take on sound systems, it has a sculptural presence that will appeal to many, be them animal lovers, art connoisseurs or eccentric music lovers looking for a unique speaker.
The Edifier Spinnaker Speaker strikes an impressive and dominant stance at 15 inches tall. Although its pointy end might not be the safest, amateur audiophiles will be able to appreciate the tweeter, mid-range driver and downward pointing sub packed in each horn. The Edifier Spinnaker Speaker is not battery powered nor do they boast Bluetooth technology and so cannot be placed anywhere at whim, but it does use a wireless infrared remote to control volume and playback.
