Called the Fat Lady - we kid you not -this dramatically sculpted floorstander is the £24,000 flagship from Israel's loudspeaker specialist, Morel, and is already the recipient of a Design and Engineering Innovation Award from the USA's Consumer Electronics Association. The Fat Lady's cabinet is constructed from a proprietary carbon fibre composite and unlike the majority of speaker enclosures it employs no internal damping whatsoever. The cabinet is allowed to vibrate in a controlled manner, along with the drive units, and this energy is used as part of the reproduced sound.
