If there’s anywhere exactly wrong for displaying a speaker’s prowess, it’s in the middle of a tradeshow booth. The subtle musical stylings of Sony’s ultra-high-concept Sountina speaker were a bit lost to us as our ears warred against the IFA drone, but what we could hear sounded just fine to us — and there’s no arguing with the looks. We kept expecting Tesla to jump out from behind a curtain and start spouting off about some free energy properties of the organic glass tweeter, but

sadly walked away Tesla-free. If we were to make a value call about the sound, we’d say the mids were a bit of a no-show, while the smooth variances of the high-end were alright, but not life changing. But we won’t.
