Although many speaker manufacturers successfully merge art and sound, Crystal Audio has hit a high note with the Ballad subwoofer.

Designed to compliment Crystal’s Melody line of speakers, the Ballad was fashioned by the Melody’s same Greek sculptor, Ilirian Shima. Made of 40 layers of plywood specially bonded together and treated with wax, the subwoofer is totally inert and resembles a beautifully crafted instrument.

The Ballad tops out at eight feet tall, so it’s sure to be noticed. In fact, you may even need to cut a hole in the ceiling of your living room to accommodate it! The endpin that sticks out from the larger end prevents loss of sonic energy, making its sweet sound that much sweeter.
