Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

My Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 are made from the finest virgin MDF.

Nah!
MDF by default has been around , it's no virgin.

That’s too bad to have to actually consider earthquakes with whatever you buy!

Fortunately, not a problem for us in Toronto.

FEMA's seven-level earthquake hazard maps put the metro-DC area at the lowest risk level, yet the Washington National Cathedral is still recovering from damage experienced during the August 2011 'quake centered 90 miles /144 kilometers away in Virginia. Canada NRC's five-level map for Ontario puts Toronto's risk at a two, with the area between Niagra Falls and Hamilton at a three.

But as Frank Zappa said...

 

[Ken Tajalli]

it's (when done right) about directivity and low distortion because the driver is only used for a fraction of it's possibilities (headroom kinda like)

Also, the high efficiency and very very low back emf, makes Tube amps feasible.
Even single ended class A ones!

Could easily serve as a stand-in for the menacing robot in the 2019 science fiction movie 'I Am Mother.'

Talking about good sounding horn systems, the Blumenhofer Acoustics Gran Goia MK2.
Voted best of the show during the Iear audioshow in 2022.
(Although it sounded very good no passive speaker beats the KEF Blade Meta in my opinion)

All beautiful in their own way and each a different design statement. How can they all be right?

Because they are expensive furniture, regardless of sound.

Because they are expensive furniture, regardless of sound.

I would agree that the Klipschorn is a form of furniture, the others are sculpture with no practical purpose other than to look beautiful/intriguing and to reproduce music in the home.

 

[Kal Rubinson]

Yeah. The Klipsch is the only one you can sit on.

 

[Mr. Widget]

Yeah. The Klipsch is the only one you can sit on.

I was thinking table lamp, but sure a motivated individual could climb up there.

Best I can do is balance quarter on my KEF Blades.
