The Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) 7T "Play Anywhere" Box poses an interesting question: How do we interact with our technology?


How do we relate to it? And, How do we find it, in general? Looking at it, from first glance, we are interested by the honeycomb design. It is both on the outside, printed, and on the inside, in a back-lit mesh. Functionally, it looks familiar to the BeoLit by Bang and Oluffsen. The Beolit 12. We like the honeycomb, as it suggests worker productivity, and order. The T7 by B&W.

Compositionally, one can also not miss the grill. It, and the shape of the unit around remind one of the Grundig short waves of yesteryear. One could see the T7 easily on the top of a fridge, or perhaps on a bookshelf. The FM-LW antenna seems missing, even though it is not needed. Also missing is the power. Now back the grill. Raised as it is, it reminds one of a BBQ at first, a car radiator, perhaps, or a Lava Rock grill option on a La Cornue Grand Palais 180.

It attracts our interest, but why is it raised, we wonder? Perhaps the unit is designed to appear to be more than what it is, to attract our attention? From the top, it looks to be just another JamBox, yet less attractive. The inlaid plastic buttons seem cheap, like one of those magnetic wrist straps. For a more Space Channel 5 product, take a look at the Atomic Floyd PowerJax ($169 US).

We interrupt this report to talk about time signature. Since we spent $5 making this (one Stella Artois), and we're talking about the T7, it should be 5/7/5. Or 0.14285714, about what sales tax here (BC) used to be. We also talked about the 12. Or (5+7)%, which is where it is today, including HST. Numerology, ah.

There is no 5/7/5 nomenclature for time signature, nor 5/7/12, either.


Every meme needs material, so we can see the T7 most successfully playing, given it's quality,  the soundtrack to Space Channel 5. Yes, there is something of an early television to its composition, also.

T7

Here in Canada we have the T5. Korg has the T1, T2, and T3. Now Bowers and Wilkins has the T.... 7.

The T2 had 76 keys. The T7, 4.

It looks meant for the top of a fridge, and the lifted radiator, along with the honeycomb design is a nice touch - one can cast it as a grill. We can almost see it on a bookshelf, although we prefer the Bang and Oluffsen BeoLit 12. Still, a nice combination of Arabia and America, technically, the T7. The top looks like a Jam Box, regarding 4 - the speaker.



Seven is a lucky number, and according to Bowers and Wilkins, the T7 offers "no strings attached." Let's see if it's fun.
