Earthquake Sound Amps and Subwoofers

Once again, while we were running, or jogging, between meetings, we happened upon a company called Earthquake Sound (Hohmann Internation). Perhaps what captured our attention and made us notice, was their attractive products.

Earthquake Sound New Speaker - No Model Number provided for the Speaker or Girl :-)

We didn't get a chance to audition these gems, but they sure were fun to look at. The speakers are somewhat reminiscent of a pair of famous speakers from Britain, no?

In addition to a broad range of home audio speakers, Earthquake Sound also provides 3-channel and 5-channel amplifiers, such as the Cinenova Grande 3 and Cinenova Grande 5 both seen here.

At the same display booth, we also perused through Earthquake Sounds large variety of Car Audio speakers. Looks like they have some quality products to offer. We hope to review some of them this year.
