We make no bones about the fact that there are a lot of speakers that can easily be classified as cool material. Some of them do double duty as headphones and speakers. Some of them wirelessly receive audio. Some of them are so far out of the box it’s hard not to call them ridiculous. And some, like these Acoustic Lab Zeta 2.0s are downright sexy. That’s right, we just called speakers sexy. The one piece pressure-vessel forms were designed by Dutch industrial designer Garbrand van der Molen to be visually enthralling and reduce vibration, sound radiation and distortion. Then they were packed with a completely linear sound system developed by renowned Danish audio engineer Christian M Andersen. They look as good (if not better) than they sound.
