Since we were talking about speakers with too many screws and being "busy", I saw this tuner for sale and just have to share that it is an unusually attractive conglmeration of switches and dials:

I'm guessing that the instruction manual says "Consume all liquid contents before evaluating."

The most beautiful speakers are the ones that disappear when I close my eyes. There’s nothing better than the illusion that the musicians are in the room with me.

A "Most Beautiful" designation is always going to frustrate 10 percent of us. Its the nature of "taste".

Asking a random sampling of one hundred people which of the following vehicles is the more beautiful I'm pretty confident that 90 of them would say it's the second one

So make of that what you will. But I find a similar bias in the speaker designs I commonly find described as notably beautiful. I suspect, even before clicking on the link that I'm going to see more of the second value expressed than the first image above. How to make it even-more-beautiful? Add more bling! Chrome! Sculpted facets! Spaceship lenses.

I guess it's the 2020s equivalent of the tail fin arms race of the 1950/60s (in the US) but car styling has been weird lately. For some of us, less is more, but for more of us, more is.
