Audel Art CG Tower (£3725)

摘要

Italy has a prized reputation for flamboyant and uniquely styled luxury goods. The nation's passion for design is woven into the very fabric of its culture. That's why the country's cars look like Ferrari Enzos rather than Ford Cortinas and why the men driving them are probably wearing Gucci loafers, rather than grubby sneakers.For a new high-end hi-fi company to be launched and get noticed is no easy task, especially in the loudspeaker market, where, to some, looks can be as important as sound, and where rivals include exotic brands such as Sonus faber and Zingali. Audel has risen to this challenge by introducing speakers combining creative thinking and art deco looks with good old-fashioned workmanship skills.
