The speaker has two parts, a two-way upper "main module," and a lower woofer section, which when added, comprises the "studio" version of the Kipod. Driven by Krell Full Power Balanced amplifiers and a dCS player, the sound from the small Kipods filled the huge exhibit room, and was one of the best I heard on Day 1 of the CES.

I jokingly asked Yoav if he might not call his speaker the "sonic hedgehog," which is the name for a gene sequence in biology. "No," he said, "We'll just leave it named after my daughter, the Kipod."
