Easily the most striking design here, this has a retro-futuristic sense of glamour to it. Cabasse would argue that form follows function; the boxy fibreboard cabinets of its rivals are far from ideal sonically, of course. However, the compact size of the Pearl Akoya means there's not a lot of internal cabinet volume to play with, and that creates other limitations. Unusually, this speaker is sold as a single item, so you need to buy a pair for stereo and then sync them using the app.
