Designer audio speakers are not a new concept. B&O has been making them as their flagship products since the 1980s. But the digital revolution in sound we\u2019ve been experiencing ever since the advent of the iPod has profoundly changed our relationship to music. We now live in a culture of the moment, we listen to (or \u201cconsume\u201d) music anytime and anywhere. So let's welcome the arrival of a newcomer to the high-end speaker market: the Australian brand Pantheone Audio<\/a>,\u00a0founded by Oren Adani. To create his first baby, Pantheone I, he surrounded himself with a team of international experts - designers, art directors, and engineers - all sharing a singular ambition: to give birth to a speaker \"as beautiful to look at as it is to listen to, an object that would elegantly take its place in a home as well as in an art gallery, while offering impeccable acoustics\". <\/em>And now, after over four years of research and development \u2013 mission accomplished. Winner of the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2020 (the holy grail in this field!), the symmetrical and curved design of Pantheone I speaker evokes a contemporary sculpture, at once present and invisible. And as you might have guessed, its name derives from the Pantheon in Rome, from which its geometry is inspired.<\/p>\n
