Manufactured by Transparent, a Stockholm company with an established reputation in speaker design. Made from 70 % post consumer recycled aluminium. It's only 58 centimeters (23 inches) tall and weighs only 12 kg. It is described as, " Standing upright, the Brutalist Speaker has been designed to promote “optimal acoustical properties” with intentionally engineered features that lend themselves creating the speaker’s immersive soundscape. These include dual three-inch tweeters that protrude outwards at a 90-degree angle from each other, the positioning of which is said to help deliver high-frequency sound in more detail, as well as its carefully considered bass drivers positioned in a way that results in clean and undistorted lows – bass the brand describes as “massive, yet effortless.” (from, 'Hypebeast' website). Frequency response: "32Hz – 20kHz and is capable of outputting hi-res audio at up to 192kHz and 24-bits. It supports a wide range of codecs (including MP3, FLAC, WAV and more) and is compatible with many of the most popular streaming platforms out of the box, such as Apple’s AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect. It can also connect to your source devices wirelessly with support both for Bluetooth 5.2 and dual band WiFi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). (ibid.). Price: $4,000 in either black or 'metal' colors.
