Parisian duo Kuntzel + Deygas bring you the 'MinuSkull' Speakers, [music amplifiers with a quirky look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anomalo) that deliver [bold sounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t3-jepson).

The MinuSkull Speakers take on the shape of a bug-eyed skull that's more playful than grim. Most designs like this usually depend on visual aesthetics to sell, but Kuntzel + Deygas have put in a lot of work on the technical side as well. The speakers are guaranteed to create "a [perfect sound without any distortion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kef-muo), even when the volume is very low," according to the designers. The interior boasts a tailor-made Mosfet amplifier that delivers crisp, clean sounds and two broadband Fostex Fe-83 speakers backed up by a mini subwoofer for a deeper bass. The Minuskull can be connected to any external device and it can be connected to any home stereo system to improve on what you have.
