Here's an example of the iPod culture going absolutely stark raving mad. Don't get me wrong, I believe the iPod will save high-performance audio. But when someone creates a baby grand with an iPod dock instead of keys and a 2 way speaker system instead of hammers and strings, it's clear we've taken a turn for the worse.

Lovegroove & Repucci (established 2003) have a background in some very cool interior design and apparel products, so it's understandable they'd do a retro/modern/dada/hybrid/iPod piece. It's kinda cool if you roll like that, and it billed as a piece of furniture, not a product that will "replace your home audio system." That said, I'm still having trouble figuring out what's going on. Where are the speakers? What are those silver things in the pic below? What does it cost? Why do I really want one?

The speakers are under the hinged lid. They appear to be your basic white in-wall jobs. The silver things are cutlery. It's also a dining table.
