New Bamboo Speakers Feedback

They look cool, but will be for a specific target audience of course.  Some people like earthy, hand crafted style, some people prefer high tech looking design like the latest bose sound link models or items from Sonos.

I can see them doing well in places like Urban Outfitters, and for the collegiate crowd.  Obviously, they have to perform well!  If they don't sound as good as a Sonos Play 5, that would be an issue. 

Are they self amplified?

Please post the photos on a link that we can view (such as on Flickr) without having to download a zip.  Can't be too careful these days...
