JBL Creature Speakers

Northridge, Calif.-based Harman Multimedia’s JBL Creature speakers aren’t just fun to say, they’re fun to look at and listen to. Because sound moves in waves, in-house designer Kurt Solland rounded the sides of Creature to help eliminate standing waves that are a common problem with box-shaped speakers. When hooked up to a computer, an LED light is switched on below to make Creature “glow.” The white and blue speakers have a blue LED light, and the silver have green. Two desktop speakers and subwoofer retail for $129. www.harman-multimedia.com
