Davone Rithm

Audiophiles and design buffs alike are getting pretty excited about the Davone Rithm speakers.  Hell, so are we! This smoothly curved speaker has some serious sound behind it, sporting a 1-inch dome tweeter placed in the center of an 8-inch woofer. Even if the sound hardware doesn’t impress (which it does, according to reports), we’d still want a set of these just to show off. The Danish design touches of the Rithm provide a minimalist look built from specialized wood molding techniques. The look and performance of the Davone Rithm will surely be turning heads at your next cocktail party… [thanks cnet]

Forget about hiring that lazy caddy or renting a golf cart which always breaks down. You golf in style, my man, using the Stewart F1 Lithium to carry your clubs in high tech fashion. This motorized golf trolley from Stewart Golf with integrated LCD screen and wireless control system will follow you around the course, awing your competitors and perhaps making them miss a few swings as they stare. A three part folding chassis lets you easily support your custom golf bag and, as Stewart says, it can be folded to fit in the front bin of even the smallest Porsche 911. [via]

Leaf AFi 10

When wimpy little pocket cameras and DSLRs can’t do it for you, consider a bump up to the Leaf AFi 10 camera system. This is just quite planly a monster of a digital camera – an effective 56-megapixels, medium-format frame support, a “wide frame” sensor which covers a 6×6 area and internal sensor rotation technology for getting that 56mm shot in both landscape and portrait modes at the touch of a button. This baby ain’t cheap, but if you need those really high quality shots it might be worth it. [via]
