I’ve seen few speaker systems that use flat surfaces as a diaphragm before, but Franklin’s Roadie might be the first modular to splash down in the new millennium. It’s a three part system, consisting of the EVS-2000, EVS-3000 and EVS-4000. In order of mention, you’ve got a base model that assents to sources via a 3.5mm input jack, a rechargeable battery (no mention of how long thought) with SD card slot, and a bonus tweeter / equalizer. It ain’t much good in your hand since your hand ain’t flat, but slap it on a table (or any other flat surface, like a floor), or Kristen Steward’s chest, and the tunes will start to boom boom pow. Or become marginally more audible, anyway. The trio should go on sale soon for $99.99 as a bundle, while the 2000 and 3000 can be picked up by themselves for $49.99 / $79.99, respectively.
