This is quite possibly the lamest thing I've ever seen.

How does it produce sound? Well, presumably via a speaker built into the enclosure. I'm guessing it's one of them cost-efficient class D IC's and an el-cheapo driver with a tacky enclosure around it.

A fool and his money... (Of course now that I've said that, the next poster will obviously immediately state that they own the product and LOVE it :)).

But I guess this device isn’t about looking like a tube, it’s just about sticking some blue LEDs under polycarbonate domes in hopes it will sell cheap speakers.

That sums it up. Desk gimmick.

uhh i dunno i think i will get the black one.... the only comet left on the product sums it up.
the case is sweet, just rip out the guts, and voila. have the tubes in front, maybe keep the domes on, and caps in back (in replace of back domes), damm, is there a cheaper case that is similar?, not that i've seen.
