5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful speaker covers, October 11, 2007

These are great speaker covers in that they truly look like books and will obviously let sound through. I will place them in my bookcase and they will look so much nicer than most speakers. They problem is that I have not been able to find on the internet the actual speakers that go in them. I think they are available in a set but I just want two of the small size that fit these holders. The set has speakers of several different sizes. So, I will have to go to a local store and find some that fit.

These covers are very nice. Made of a heavy resin (sorta like fiberglass but heavier), and they look just like a set of real books. When you get closer you realize the front is perforated so that the speaker sound can come through. And as the other reviewers stated, these are designed specifically to fit the AR Home Decor satellite speakers. The cut out is an oval shape so it is difficult to fit ordinary rectangular speakers into them. I did buy the matching speakers, and they look and sound great. Girlfriend thinks they are cool too so big bonus points for that!

Awesome looking product, looks like real books. But the engineering design is dumbfounding. Why built a product for only a specific speaker. And i did a search and cant find where the speaker is sold anymore. But i did find a solution: take a jig saw and cut the bottom where it curves and make it straight. Then a small satellite speaker can fit in it. I purchased the Acoustic Research MC2.5W (2.5" mini speaker) and it fits in it (barely). I think 2.5" is the largest that would fit.
