Name: Niro Spherical Surround System NS-600
Category: home theater speakers
Price: JPY88,000
Release date in Japan: July 10, 2008
The new "Spherical Surround System NS-600" home theater speakers from niro1.com KK ("Niro") aren't spheres themselves, but they are indeed round. The system's components are a top speaker, bottom ("base") speaker, subwoofer, full digital surround amp, and remote control; no "left" and "right" speakers in this system. The 0.6-kg top speaker projects L/R channels to the rear, while the 1.4-kg base speaker projects L/R and center channels to the front.
Niro explains that conventional front-speaker surround systems project a flat "circle" of surround sound with limited vertical reach, while the NS-600's vertically-separated speakers envelop listeners in a "sphere" of "dramatic" ceiling-high surround sound. The sound cocoon fills a room as large as 60 square meters, says the company.
Buy the NS-600 now, and to celebrate its 10th anniversary Niro will drop a JPY9000 iTunes or Amazon gift certificate into your order.
