Don't think speakers done in various auto paint finishes will ever be attractive to me.
I'm too locked into the old-school wood look.
Same with my firearms, I'll pass on all the modern tupperware stuff.
Give me some beautiful walnut stocks & grips.

Here's one for your wood fetish, Sal. Sorry about the non-wooden wall behind the speaker...I tried!

No....the only time I bought a large lot of birch ply for a speaker project, the termites got to it before I did. Expensive lesson learned.

Ha, been there.
Here's mine when they were new, with my awesome Dobe, Max guarding them.
l later I used a walnut stain and Tung Oil to finish them, not too well I must admit.
Those were the days, new 1978 La Scala's in the raw for $500 each.
Like the good ole days in cars, when you could order a new base (cheapest) model, even delete the radio and heater
to really save, but include the biggest highest performance engine, driveline package to go fast.
Today if you want the ultra performance engine package, you have to also pay for the ultra priced model to get it. :mad:

When youve modern industrial home with straight lines maybe this one fits. Linnemann Acoustics Nomada here from Germany
A Warwick does not fit this speaker at all, should have used at least a Status Graphite foe the photo...
 
These are very popular now and the main competitor for Function One in high end high power systems for electronics music, the Void Acoustics Incubus system

I don't know if beautifull is the right word, but they are special in appeareance, where form follows function an other time. They are very flashy in design altough. I prefer Function 1, but mainly for the looks as on sound they are on the same level...
 
sorry, but in my personal view, this is plain ugly. It's very functional altough for it's purpose. But l'll prefer this "form follow function" in the section "the most beautifull speakers in the world"

(for those who don't know, this is a function one speaker stack with an rack with FFA amps)
The colouring hurts my eyes o_O

Some Focal, at least it looks expensive

I hate it when companies flip the negative for a visual pair. The one on the right is a flipped negative of the one on the right. I know this due to the cone wood's pattern, the etched words on the trim rings, and the flipped Focal logo.
