A true decorative piece designed in the late 1960s (around 1968), this iconic model was produced in very limited numbers: there are reportedly only 25 pairs in the world (and 5 matching hi-fi systems). For vintage hi-fi enthusiasts or lovers of 1970s design. Bibliography: COLLECTIVE. 10 Years, 100 Models, CREAC Publisher, 1973.
