Speakers


I was brainstorming about speakers today, mainly the ones that are for home entertainment systems or to attatch to something, not stereo speakers or the like.  Their designs are so unique.  They don't always try to be small scale.  In proportion to their environment, they can either overcome it and become the main focal point of the room or they can be unseen and blend in with room.  Speakers carry a unique three-dimensional aspect to them.  They are designed to fit into places like corners, or to be mounted on walls, or just sit on top of something.  It depends upon what service they are to perform.  For home theater entertainment, usually they are minute so that they can be discretely placed around the room while giving a theatrical sound experience.  At concerts or shows, however, they are so large that they cover enormous amounts of space on a stage.  Speakers are designed to be sleek and unnoticeable or be huge and just be there to be really loud and obnoxious.  Usually they are black, though, so that they do not take away from wherever they are placed, even at concerts.  The musicans don't want the audience to stare at the huge bright pink speakers the whole time instead of them.  They completely serve their purpose in society.
