Joey Roth CRM-001 Ceramic Speakers (Pair, White)

These ceramic speakers are a thing of beauty. They get a lot of attention from visitors, and I'm no audiophile, but they sound nice to me. The control unit has a volume knob that is satisfying to use. The control unit is not perfectly balanced so it tends to tip backward from the weight of the speaker cable that's connected to the back of it (solvable by supporting the cable). I also have the bluetooth unit that is available for these speakers and that makes it much more convenient to stream music from my phone or computer. I was happy to find an open-box deal on these because they are not cheap.

My receiver shorted out within three years, and the screws on it came stripped, so I have no ability to get inside to do the repair myself. I’ve reached out via every social page they listed and through the info email provided on the original website, only to have them never respond. They look beautiful, and sounds great, until the day they won’t turn on and you’re stuck with a fairly expensive paper weight with no ability to have them repaired. Purchase at your own risk. This is one of those examples of how buying from a smaller company can come back and bite you. Customer service is non-existent.

I was intrigued upon seeing the speakers and the "professional" reviews. So I ordered a pair. I liked the way they were shipped and the way they looked out of the box. Setup was not that simple as the banana plugs took some effort to seat. After a year the speakers still don't sit exactly right into their slots, though the sound has just gotten better and better. To me, these speakers are perfect for Jazz, New Age, Pop, and even Doo Wop. The one main, big complaint I have is the plug from the amp to my laptop or IPod. There appears to be a lot of wiggle room in the amp receptacle and if not seated just right I lose the left channel. Sometimes it takes me awhile to get the cord to sit just right and then I don't want to jar the desk and risk losing the left channel. Again. I contacted Joey Roth soon after setting up my speakers and told him how much I liked them. He came back saying he was happy I was happy. Later I tried to contact him/company about my problem and what I could do to fix and have heard nothing back. These speakers are unique, look good sitting on a desk with a laptop or IPod, and sound great. I would highly recommend these speakers to anyone to likes Jazz and needs a desktop speaker system. Except for this little left channel thing. For me, I'll be getting a new laptop this Summer and I guess I'll be getting a new set of desktop speakers.

Have had my eyes on Joye Roth's porcelain speakers since I stumbled across the prototype some years ago. And now finally they are in my home.Absolutely beautiful - and yes the sound is great as well for a stereo this size.

These speakers are a beautiful piece of industrial design, made with rich natural materials. They exude quality and style. The aesthetics are completely unmatched by any small speaker system, not to mention any but the most unobtainable audiophile large speaker systems. However, the sound quality is just decent. They are clear but lack any low end whatsoever. They don't even have a good solid mid-range. Pairing with a sub would be the best way to go if you expect a full range sound. Mr. Roth, how about a ceramic sub with a clean connection to the exiting system?

Received the speakers a couple days ago, and am delighted with them.Exactly what i was hoping for, simple, sobre yet clean design. These ceramic speakers are very well thought, they look beautiful on my desk, merging utility and looks.When I got them plugged and tried them I was equally surprised by the sound quality and to be honest, their power, I wouldn't have thought initially that these speakers could be so powerfull, but they do pack a punch!In all honesty, a great buy if looking to marry design/look with sound and material quality.If i had to change one thing, it would be the wood of the base, it just feels like it would deserve to be made from a more precious wood, speakers and main base inspire toughness and quality alright though.Many thanks Joey for a great product I am very satisfied with.

These guys are just totally gorgeous.. They look so nice in my house... And they sound pretty great too. Considering there's no subwoofer, I think the low end is actually quite pronounced. A lot of it depends on format and genre. To really here the speakers shine, go with a nice copy of your favorite 70's soul album.
