Ordinarily, a speaker cabinet’s only job is to hold the tweeters and woofers steady without vibrating. But an Onkyo engineer suggested a radically different approach: Use the cabinet as a resonating surface, like a musical instrument, to produce warmer, richer sound than a small speaker’s limited woofer size would allow. Working with Japanese guitar maker Takamine, the design team spent three years strategically balancing internal support and cabinet thickness to get the right vibrations. The result is a speaker that fills a room with more lifelike sound than anything its size normally would. $2,000 per pair; onkyousa.com
