I am looking for "eyeball speakers" - something either spherical on a floor stand or with a sphere on top. I prefer to spend under $2000 for the pair. My intention is to actually paint eyeballs on them (I run the Eyeball Museum), so they have to come in white or off-white and preferably with black grilles. Here's what I know about so far:
Elipson Planet L (look excellent but may be a bit under powered and 6 ohms)
Cabasse IO2 (also might be under powered)
Orb Audio Mod1 (perhaps lower-end than I am looking for)
Any opinions on these? Any others?
I will be driving them with a Pioneer VSX-D902S (hey, it still works great!)
125 watts per channel 8 ohms
I found an article on spherical speakers here:
http://www.bornrich.com/entry/sexiest-spherical-speakers-you-d-look-on-to-hear-long/
Most are incredibly expensive ($150,000? I'll pass). I'd love a set of stacked eyeballs from Art & Voice, but I doubt they are anywhere near my price range.
