Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

[Petronius]

There are occasions when i rather like a stunning visual pair. Cheesy or not.

I like the speakers. It is cheesy for promo material to use a mirror image of the same speaker to represent a pair. Especially when it’s so obvious, as pointed out by another contributor, that the logo and focal name are backwards as well on the one on the right.

Pretty great looking for DIY

That's actually more of a add-on woofer than a subwoofer.

A truly pioneering solution, the compact 3440A PoE-powered subwoofer enhances Genelec’s versatile Smart IP family of installation loudspeakers, offering the convenience of networked audio with the benefits of single-cable connectivity. And by redefining the reference for low-frequency output...

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...

I shot this photo at Midnight Sun Festval out on Lofoten in Norway a few years ago, extremely special place to have a festival! And I did really like how those quite menacing looking speakers almost screamed at the party goers. It was playing mostly the darker and harder style of psytrance which suited the look of the speakers perfectly ^^

But yeah maybe not beautiful in that sense, then I guess Void's "smaller" trumpet looking horn speakers is a better candidate foe that. I think O have some photos of them on my computer somewhere, might post one tomorrow ^^

I took out my ruler and scaled. If that driver is 60 inches, then the woman is four foot four in height.

50 inch

She's photoshopped though, if you google the woofer you'll find better pictures with people next to it.
And I wouldn't call either that nor the other big woofer especially beautiful, just gianourmous

Maybe she is a child.

So this is what Voids a bit more beautiful speakers looks like. I've seen them in red which I personally like a lot more than these bathroom white ones.

Unclear if the setup really is optimal with the tweeters so far apart. It did not sound particularly good though, but wasn't the speaker fault, a friend of mine did play at this stage and he said he sneakily bypassed three (!) compressors before he started playing. It's sad when the sound engineers don't care how it sound and does weird things like this, I mean one compressor is enough if you want to protect them from some overly hot DJ, but three is just pure overkill.
