Art-inspired grills deck out our latest audio giveaway

As part of a New Year’s resolution to up our music game, we’re giving away a special-edition Sonos Play:5 speaker system to one of our readers. With a custom grill bearing music-inspired art, these speakers are the largest—and most powerful—of the Sonos line. The line made an impressive debut at the NADA Art Fair, where Sonos teamed up with a crop of artists to produce and sell the limited run of custom speakers to benefit Creative Growth, an Oakland arts center for adults with disabilities.

The grills feature artwork from Susan Janow, Donald Mitchell, Gerone Spruill and Aurie Ramirez of Creative Growth. As it turns out, the pieces make a brilliant canvas to incorporate artwork into everyday items. Besides the design appeal, the Sonos system incorporates five integrated speakers and five Class-D digital amplifiers that pump room-filling sound with a host of streaming options, and allows you to control playback through a desktop app, a mobile app and a dedicated remote. We hope you enjoy the HiFi sound and streaming ease as much as we do here in the CH HQ.

For the giveaway, we’re letting the winner select one of the four designs shown here. To win, Tweet your favorite song of the moment to @coolhunting and @sonos with the hashtag #CHSonosGiveaway. We’ll be taking entries through 12 a.m. EST on Wednesday, 11 January.
