When it comes to speakers and sound systems, Como Audio has always impressed us with their focus on functional design and a warm, wooden appearance. The new SpeakEasy with Google Assistant built-in has all the modern tech you could ask, all housed in a furniture grade wood cabinet that makes it great for any space. “Google Assistant built-in” is a dead giveaway that SpeakEasy is voice-controlled whether you want a morning playlist, a recipe or an alarm. In addition to the more stylish exterior, SpeakEasy sets itself apart with a clock, functional control knobs, an optional battery to take it on the go, and most importantly, quality audio. With a 3/4″ soft dome tweeter, 3″ custom woofer, 25 watt amplifier and custom DSP equalization, the SpeakEasy is one of the few home assistant speakers you’ll actually enjoy listening to your music through. The SpeakEasy Kickstarter runs until May 31, with estimated delivery of products in November.
