Designer Philippe Starck and Parrot have collaborated to release a home sound system designed specifically for iPod, iPhone and other digital audio sources. Dubbed as the Zikmu, this speaker system features a pair of 2.5-foot tall black columns each reminiscent of the business-end of a trumpet. Starck ships the system in a recyclable package that’s designed to look like a certain brass musical instrument’s carrying case. The Zikmu system can also stream stream music from any PC or Mac over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth A2DP wireless technology. Its class-D amplifier is rated at 100W RMS, and the speakers can output frequencies from 50Hz up to 20kHz, so don’t expect a really deep bass boom. The Philippe Starck Zikmu Parrot speakers retail for $1600 for the set. It is available for pre-order now over at both Parrot and The Conran Shop, and should start shipping later this month.
