Women love leather, claims Mike Wilson of Ultralift. Not the whip sort but his new range of leather covered speakers.

A real head turner at this year’s CEDIA Expo, the range from Swedish manufacturer Audio Pro includes an iPod dock which was featured in SmartHouse earlier this year and three new bookshelf speakers priced from $399 to $599.

They also displayed a pair of floorstanders at $999, and a centre channel speaker at $399.

The subwoofer 175W model retails for $699 and a 200W model sells for $799. Said Sales Manager Mile Wilson, “The women love the new leather look. When I took them home my wife fell instantly in love with them and it has been the same at the CEDIA Expo”. 

The ace-bass subwoofers are priced from $549 to $1899, with driver sizes from 6-inch to 12-inches at the top end.
