Solid Stone Speakers

Audiomasons Design Works' Sound Systems Weighs About 40 Pounds

— November 8, 2011 — Art & Design
As many tech companies work towards making technology smaller and lighter, Audiomasons Design Works has decided to go a different route. With their stunning, solid-stone speakers, the company has created something that is not only extremely heavy, but unique and sophisticated as well.

The perfect sound system to rock out to (pun intended), the Audiomasons Design Works' speakers are made from poured concrete and boasts a self-cleaning titanium nanoparticle coating to prevent stains and discoloration. They weigh in at about 40 pounds. There are three models available and are great for both indoor and outdoor uses. Perfect for the home, office or commercial spaces, at least the owner will know that no one can really just run off with their Audiomasons Design Works' speakers. Those potential thieves will probably end up breaking their backs in the process.
