Joey Roth's Ceramic Speakers will surely blow you away with their looks, if not with their music, considering that these low powered speakers are made to design perfection using porcelain, cork and birch wood. The Ceramic Speakers have a low 15W output per channel and custom-made 4-inch sound drivers neatly housed within a porcelain and cork enclosure. A combination, that apparently promises to reveal every fine nuance of the music that the speaker belts out. The design is elegant to the last detail - so much so that even the usually plain-looking connectors have a distinct radiant finish and are left open to enhance the system's chic looks.

With the designer tag however comes the designer price - the first 200 speakers are up for pre-order now at a price of $495 a pair, and will be shipped out in early November. Sigh. During my childhood, all fairy tales had a happy ending.
