TCP/IP Enabled Speakers
I have a theory that once IPv6 is adopted globally everything, and I mean everything on the planet will have an address, and we may just eat up the trillions of possibilities in the new scheme. Some countries are already assigning IPv6 addresses to insects and windshield wipers. As long as we are still on IPv4 however, we are limited to things like refrigerators and loud speakers.
Actually this is a great idea. If they would include 802.11g wifi with the integrated amplifiers we would have a solution to the problems of where to hide the wires. But with high end performance loudspeakers like these, convenience isn't so much the motivation as better sound.
If you like music, I recommend the Alesis M1 Active Reference Monitors. For the money, about $350 for the pair, you get tight, punchy bass and crisp highs with the benefits of reference performance. For many, its hard to justify the expense of several grrr or more for audiophile speakers, particularly if your ears wouldn't know the difference anyway. The Alesis monitors are pure pleasure, and without having to stick a woofer on the floor that annoys your neighbors in the apartment below.
Network enabled speakers have great gadget value, so for fun checkout the Polk TCP/IP speakers, and then look into actually purchasing a pair of the "old-fashioned" Alesis monitors for your listening room.
