Duo Soundolier Speaker Lamp

The Duo Soundolier is a hybrid gadget that combines a sound system and a lamp, which allows you to get maximum functionality from your decor without the extra effort of trying to conceal speakers in the room somewhere. The high quality speakers are omnidirectional and because they are located near the top of the floor lamps, they are excellent for creating surround sound in a home theater. No extra wiring is needed because the system utilizes wireless audio, receiving signals directly from a wireless transmitter (the "maestro") with a 200-ft range and multiple channels to avoid interference with other networks.

The Duo took the CES Best of Innovations Award in the Home Theater Audio category this year. Price: $280 each.
