Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

No worries...They cost the same as Rockport Orion's though. Tough competition!
No need to despair over the cost. Visually identical, but just a tad smaller Piega Master Line Source 3 is available in Europe for a laughably small price of 35 K€. :)

Have you listened to them?

Wonder how'd they rate against the new Rockport Lynx speakers. They are double the price and nearly triple the weight!

Sorry, no. I have just drooled over their design, and as a long time fan of Genelec, aluminum enclosure construction always gets my attention.

Putting aside the dream world, I'm actually interested in Piega Premium 501 Wireless Gen 2 available at under 6 K€, but I haven't seen any measured data, nor listened to them yet.
 

To my eye, no one does better looking woodwork than Klipsch does with it's Anniversary Heritage line of speakers, YMMV

I am definitely a Klipsch fan... I appreciate the historical significance, the design, and the care that goes into their products. I recently made a trek to Hope and visited the Klipsch Museum. They have a wonderful collection of speakers, related gear and documents going back to the early days of hi-fi.

As much as I respect PWK's work and appreciate the designs, I still can't live with these beauties as they are not as neutral as I like my speakers to be, but that doesn't take away from their beauty.

A long time ago, the brand was sold in the store where I worked during my holidays. And since the owners were greedy for profit, they must have had a hell of a margin. Not my listening style but nice finish although unrelated to the price asked already more than 20 years ago. I had not found the exact references of the loudspeakers used but I am a high-efficiency guy, it reminds me of the sound system when I recorded songs in the studio or played on stage.

I have the same feeling but its too colorful and overrated efficiency. It must be said that the loudspeakers and horns used must not cost them very much: it's not PHL from Genelec eh!
 
omg,finally saw a real beautiful speaker.
I'd be more skeptical, nice images meant to sell. IRL might be different.
 
All of their speakers are pretty cool

Looks like Piega uses a Seas L series woofer in all of those models. Could be aluminum, paper, or graphene; hard to tell. What I don't like is the deeply recessed beyond flush woofers for a higher problematic diffraction issue.
 
I've said it before. This thread shows above all that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Most speakers posted here - for me - have looks only a mother could love.

A small few are classically stunning.

Most of us will agree with the statement but disagree on which ones the 'small few' are.
 
I wouldn't dare to claim 'the most beautiful speakers in the world' but these little B&Ws of mine are sufficiently pretty to even get spousal approval and that's not an easy task.

The custom stands help. Sorry for the dust on them and their positioning but their room is being redecorated atm.
