Which Pantheone belongs in your home?

Pantheone I has a substantial presence and brings 360° sound to a living space. Obsidian has a smaller, faceted form and a rechargeable battery, so music can move with you.

Both share Pantheone’s sculptural approach to sound. The right choice begins with where you will place your speaker and how you want to listen.
