Style Meets Function in Joey Roth Ceramic Speaker Towers

Are you in search of a pair of speakers that don’t just sound good, but look good as well?

With the enormous selection out on the market, it can be daunting to go shopping for speakers. Some sound good, but clash with your decor at home. Other look good, but the sound, well, the sound doesn’t sound so good. San Francisco-based designer Joey Roth decided to conquer that problem by creating a set of speaker towers that look so good, guests will think that it’s a design piece meant to decorate your home.

Roth got his start after studying industrial design at Swarthmore, partnering up with his wife and muse Jana Roth. He’s created terracotta planters that water themselves made just for herbs and succulents, and a minimalist teapot crafted from steel and glass that doubles as a work of art. Roth combines a mix of form and function with an aesthetic sensibility that fits with today’s modern lifestyle. Joey Roth describes the speakers like this: The Ceramic Towers are mass-loaded transmission line enclosures that extend frequency response down to 40 hz (f3) while maintaining the Ceramic Speakers’ phase and time coherence. The speakers sit at a slight upward angle off the floor, thanks to maple rods and a CNC’d pocket

The towers are clean, minimal, and fit into the homes of those who appreciate clean lines and minimal design. So go ahead and splurge. You’ll be able to get romantic to Serge Gainsbourg, bob your head to Kendrick Lamar, or lip sync to Madonna in style. Plus, it doubles as a design piece that will be sure to catch the eye of all your guests as they come into your home to hear that crisp, clear sound.

After three seasons, Yellowjackets has come closer to answering many of the core questions viewers have been dying to know. The third season finale brings the girls stranded in the wilderness closer to a rescue, and there are naturally plenty of questions about what a fourth season might focus on.

The show has fallen off of the awards radar, but it's still one of my favorites because of its combination of old-fashioned teen drama and heady sci-fi.

Following the debut of Black Mirror's seventh season on Netflix, attention has naturally turned to whether we'll be getting any more stories from the mind of creator Charlie Booker. Black Mirror has become one of Netflix's biggest successes, but the show has not officially been renewed for an eighth season yet.

Although the show hasn't been renewed by Netflix yet, Booker has made it clear that it's not because he's out of ideas. "Yes, there are some stories that are pretty much fully baked and ready to go," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "And there are others where I've got chunks of story or concept that I'm just slightly trying to work out."
