Creative Destruction: Boldly sold: one-bed starship

Sometimes it is important not to judge.

I never thought that this flat would sell - and made reference to it last year, and in many of the presentations that I have done. The debate in question was whether this was an example of innovation or not.









HINCKLEY
A sci-fi fan who turned his flat into a replica of a Star Trek ship sold it for £425,000 – five times its market value – when he put it up for auction on the internet site eBay. Tony Alleyne, 54, left, spent two years and £30,000 recreating the flight deck of the Starship Voyager in his one-bed flat in Hinckley, Leicestershire, after his marriage broke down. It has moulded wall panels, blue lighting and a “transporter room”. The flat was bought by a Birmingham businessman.

Sonic Soundscape testimonial

"I was very impressed when given the initial demonstration of the speakers, but it wasn't till I got home and plugged them in that I really appreciated the quality and overall affect. I have them hooked up to my television via the composite cables. I also route my computer and Wii through the television so it made sense to add these to my all-in-one solution.

The sub woofer offers substantial bass but is not what sells this impressively priced deal. I will confess to not knowing how the new Soundscape technology works, but I can tell you it works very well indeed. We have quite a wide sofa and a variety of seating positions. The SoundScape ensures a consistent experience no matter where you are seated. For those who feel they will lose out on a surround definitely have to try this as an alternative. My experience is that you get a much more atmospheric sound. Having used the speakers with a couple of games (mostly FPS's), at
increasingly immodest volumes, I can quite literally state it adds a real extra dimension to the whole sensation.

Even if you are not sold on the new technology the sound quality of is far far better than a similar price unit and I think equal to many units quadruple the price. If you are looking for excellent sound quality at a good price you've just found yourself a bargain. I am a satisfied and happy customer"

Hopes this is ok. I was watching lost the other day using the speakers and couldn't shake the feeling there were palm trees swaying in my kitchen!

DIAS MUSIC LAUNCHES NEW SOUND SYSTEM






08:00 - 27 April 2007

Revolutionary new sound system has been launched by entrepreneurs based in Chippenham.

Dias Music yesterday launched the Airsound speaker system, which acts as a single speaker alternative to surround sound.

The new system is being promoted by former Department of Trade and Industry business mentor Roger Croft and designer Hubert Dias, who is already involved in research and development for the next model in the series.

The Airsound speaker is currently only being sold through the Dias Music website, but the firm is planning to expand and offer demonstrations through agents across the UK.

Mr Croft said: "We are the first people to bring this sound on to the market and we have worked very closely with the inventor to do that.

"The advantage of the Airsound is you get a spatial feeling which you wouldn't get from two speakers.

"As you move around the room the sound stays with you.

"It will suit people who move around a lot and anyone who feels they have lost their living room to the demands of their children wanting to watch television."
