I rather like the look of the Magico M series speakers.

Oh those would be real fun in an earthquake.scandinavian is usually good
Ah, Davone. Love many of their designs. Not the cheapest, but honestly reasonable for something made in Denmark with such complex bent ply enclosures and attention to detail like custom trim rings, as well as good SB/Scanspeak drivers.
This is a favourite. I am partial to Audiosolutions of Lithuania as well:
That's a milled waveguide. The neat thing is that the waveguide is milled into a removable sub-baffle. So the grille is actually another similar waveguide sub-baffle just with cloth stretched over it, avoiding the diffraction problems of most grille frames (assuming the seam between baffle and sub-baffle is sufficiently tight):
You just swap out the sub-baffles as you desire. I thought it was a pretty clever and elegant solution in a speaker that didn't cost that much considering its boutique provenance.
I concur, although pricing puts them way out of my reach. And they are heavy, the M3 in your picture tips the scales at 320 pounds. The M2 is the closest to being practical at 165 pounds, if that term can even apply to a speaker priced above $50K.

Don't know why, but they're beautiful to me, minimalistic and futuristic
I admire and respect fine cabinet workmanship. I simply don't have the skill, space, or tools to do it myself.
Tastes vary then. It is the look of these that guarantees I will never buy them!

Yes [to the new Genelecs.] Just not the Isopod/whatever stands. Thread I was looking at a day or two ago, really showed them well.
But maybe because they're Genelec. My first impression, the first time I saw pics of them, was not good, because some cheap crappy pro audio speakers have baffles like that.

Oh, of course I’ll never own a pair, but they are pretty. I like the m3 the best of the series for looks.
I concur (FWIW). I’m partial to their matte wood finishes, but these are lookers too.smooth finish on these special 40`s
The beauty of a particular design is highly subjective. I am prepared to purchase a design that has many detractors, the B&W 803 D3 in rosenut finish. When I first saw pictures of the 800 series, I thought they were ugly. Seeing them in person changed my mind and the Art Deco styling has grown on me.

They fit well in Bobby Axelrod's apartment.No way the B&O Beolit 90s will blend in with the surroundings, but both the technology and aesthetics intrigue:
I have them in red in my living room, I’m tempted to find three more for a surround system.smooth finish on these special 40`s
