This thread has got me thinking. Probaly useless thoughts to all others than myself, but it's nice to do some inner exploration once in a while
99% of all "sculptural" speakers I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. They remind me of that episode of Friends where Joey becomes wealthy and buys all of the most ridiculous "modern" interior decoration he can get his hands on.

All of the speakers I'd like to own would be an eyesore to me in some minor degree or another, but I don't mind sacrificing a bit of aesthetics in the name of form-follows-function, as long as it doesn't become the dominant feature.
The most beautiful speakers would probably be some Dayton Audio exciters on the back of some nice artwork
