The world’s biggest iPod speaker is best described in numbers. The Wall of Sound weighs 102 kilos (225 pounds), stands almost a meter tall (a yard) and 1.25 meters wide (a bit more than a yard) and can rock up to around 125 watts.
The wall is made up of 28 individual speakers, each housed in their own chamber, and the whole thing is hand-built. It even has its own tube amplifier hidden away inside and yes, that tiny protrusion on the side is an iPod dock.
The pitch reads thusly: “It looks frightening and it IS frightening!” This is backed up by the horrendous music which blasts from the website of the maker, Brothers of Stockholm, and of course the name, Wall of Sound, which reminds us of the scary Phil Spector.
The most frightening part, though, is the price: $4,500. Incredibly, the first batch has already sold out.
