Prepare for liftoff with the Sputnik subwoofer

The next time your sweetie tells you that she's tired of tripping over all of those speakers in your home theater, perhaps you should propose a switch to some hanging speakers. The latest launch from Bulgaria's oh-so-cutely named Everything But The Box is their $2,950 Sputnik 12S subwoofer, a flying sphere that bears a remarkable similarity to its namesake, launched by the U.S.S.R. precisely 50 years ago. Designed primarily with bars and restaurants in mind, the new Sputnik is a passive 12-inch subwoofer that EBTB claims can handle a whopping 1,000 Watts. That should be enough to send even the most chilled-out clubber into orbit.
