When examining further, the speakers have a [custom horn-machined solid wood build](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arendal-1528-tower-8-limited) and are detailed with custom graphic grille accents. In terms of the technicalities, the speaker's smooth shape is complete with a "Purifi USHINDI-series ultra-low distortion transducer 6.5” woofer." There are two models dubbed by the brand aptly as Type 1 and Type 2 speakers. Both of these are actively fueled, which means that neither depends on a separate amplifier for any audio playback. Once it is connected to a turntable, it is ready to spin and play.
