wow kind of freaky. Never seen them before but maybe they are called JBL Aliens ?? 
What did they sound like?

Hmmm..... Close Encounters of the Third Kind? They look a bit too much like alien heads for my tastes. Maybe they'll be called "Roswell" speakers or something....
Very odd indeed, and I'd not really want them myself. I prefer something that won't look back at me
And I really have to wonder how many of these things they'll sell. They are a bit creepy, not something you really want to have.....

i think they're pretty sweet. imagine if those glowing lights around the base could pulse in time with the music. perfect complement to itunes visualizations.
They are the JBL Encounter 5.1 speaker system.
As per this month's Mac Addict...
"...Surround your Mac with the JBL Encounter 5.1 ($399.95, www.harman-multimedia.com) due out in November. This 5 speaker, 200 watt subwoofer set has a volume control that literally goes up to 11. You'll need a sound card like M-Audio's Revolution 7.1 ($119.95, www.midiman.net) to enjoy the Encounter 5.1, but a 2.1 version will be available for $299.95 in December..."
So there you go, LOUD, WEIRD, and PRICEY....sounds like a hit! NOT!

Ha, well, for that much money I'd definitely like something a little more aesthetically appealing....not for me....it would look more like a group of aliens hanging out, watching over my shoulder as I work.
