JVC SP-FT is a drool-inducing, 31mm thin home theater speaker system

We know, life's tough. You want to buy the latest ultraslim HDTV, but find that your home theater speakers will look monstrously bulky sitting alongside it. JVC wouldn't want to cause you such headaches, which is why it's trotted out the above pair of 31mm thin speaker satelittes -- known as the SP-FT1 in black and SP-FT2 in their white garb -- and the AX-FT amplifier squeezed in between them. While you should probably not expect Telos 5000-like output, the amp will deliver 80W of total output over 4 independent channels, and has support for Dolby Digital, DTS and AAC formats. Prices are expected to be around ¥24,000 ($267) for the amp and ¥20,000 ($223) for the speakers when their black iterations hit Japan later this month, with the willowy white option showing up in November.

Ah... These speakers are the wet dreams of "WALL PEOPLE"..
Wall People: from the Ben Drawbaugh HT dictionary; are people who are obsessed with hanging home theater gear on the wall.

I'm surprised it took this long. I always thought it was comical that people would drool over how thin a TV is, but all the other gear you attach to a TV is still as much as 18" deep. The article doesn't say how low the speakers go, as far as I understand, planars (assuming it's a planar set) don't go down in frequency very far.
