What would speakers sound like if they had the acoustic quality found in high-end guitar construction? Those with $2,000 in their pockets will be able to find out via the new Onkyo D-TK10 speakers. These 200-watt speakers, which are limited to just fifty pairs a month due to the reportedly labor-intensive assembly process, were designed jointly with guitar manufacturer Takamine. Insteadof the old standard “inert-box acoustics of conventional speaker cabinetry”, as described by Onkyo, the D-TK10 speakers have a “freely vibrating thin-wall enclosure” which harnesses sounds normally absorbed within through “strategic placement of struts, stringers and thickness variations”.
