Might seem like an oversize boombox, they actually do it so that the iPad docked onto it will not look awful. Speakercraft’s new lineup, the FloBox, and the Vital amp can stream music via Apple’s AirPlay, DLNA or Speakercraft’s own Nirv system. Comes with an iPad docking station.

“This project has been very rewarding as we were able to even further advance our focus on audio performance while delivering an aesthetically impressive product for the retail customer.” said Jeff Francisco, SpeakerCraft’s V.P. of Product Development. “We didn’t want to just make noise,” Francisco continued, “we wanted to make a statement and that is exactly what we have accomplished.”

“There is an entire generation that has missed out on high-performance audio reproduction because of MP3 music delivered through cheap headphones and mediocre electronics,” remarked Jeremy Burkhardt, SpeakerCraft’s President. “We want them to experience a room filled with sound that completely changes there opinion of what music can sound like and that is exactly what the FloBox does.”

The two FloBoxes also include a mini USB port to sync your i-device with iTunes. The Vital 250 is only available in black and will sell for $699 when it hits in the fourth quarter. The two FloBoxes will be available in a black, white, silver, red or yellow high-gloss, piano finish with no word on price, but are also expected in a few months.
