Does anybody have any experience with the M's System cylindrical speaker from Japan. I'm really intrigued by this speaker, and was considering having a friend in Japan pick one up for me. Here is the description of the smaller version:

Quote:
Housing a speaker on either end, the MS0801 is a single vibrational speaker that has the capability to fill a room in stereo. (You can get a pair if you want surround sound.) Made from wood, the cylindrical shape also enhances acoustics. No matter how loud I turned up the volume, the bass never distorted and always sounded clean without dominating the spectrum. In addition to great sound, the unusual design can adapt to tricky apartment layouts either suspended with hooks or resting on a stand.

What do you expect from this? The convention of speakers hasn't changed much, because that convention works better than these kinds of experiments. That's not to take away from these speakers. I'm sure they produce sound.
