Probably less than having a low born European running his automobile business.

I do think both are a fair game though. Times change.

As we did dig a bit deeper into Bugatti thing, I just want to make sure that this post is not taken negatively. I share the same heritage as Mate Rimac, and the reference was to the "acceptance" (or lack thereof) that smaller and less accomplished nations have in Europe. Once outside of Europe, it becomes mostly mute. Perhaps that is why I did spend most of my life outside of Europe.

I do think that Mr. Rimac is fully entitled to his title, and there will be much more to come from him furthering the automotive future.

"a low born European" sounds like a profoundly biased / prejudiced / racist thing to say, so I am very glad that you have cleared that up.
The Rimac / Bugatti day must have been sensational to watch!
(You may mean "moot", although I think "given no consideration" may make your point better)

First I’ve ever seen these. Really beautiful but I hate the plastic enclosures on the feet of the stands. Very cheap looking. Ty for sharing these.

Karma Exquisites aesthetically have been great looking for a while now.

Ahh, no thanks.

Two things stand out to me: the extremely cheap feet and the baffle plate. The baffle plate honestly looks like it was cut from trailer flooring.

Well... seems I aquired another set of old Genelecs . 1022b, the "Darth Vader". I already own the white 1022a, the "StormTrooper".

These will be special, amps are blown (and Genelec will not give me schematics) but drivers are refurbished and tested, so I'll give them Hypex plate amps in stead of shipping to Finland . They have been used in broadcast, so I'll probably give them a sanding and some glossy spray paint and make them shine .

It looks like the appearance is taken from Altec 19 (scale down). But aesthetically, I stay with Altec.

My favorite version is this one...

The Marten, Coltrane models that look similar also tickle my fancy.

Based on the title of the thread i’m thinking “nope” quite often to be honest. But fortunately there are still a lot of really nice looking speakers in this thread.
It just feels like that if the price tag has reached five digits then the design often does not follow any aesthetic principles (proportions, materials) anymore.

Some of their models were measured doing quite well, because it seems they are engineered by the giant Sonos:

Ikea SYMFONISK Picture Frame Speaker Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the Ikea SYMFONISK picture frame speaker designed by Sonos. I purchased it a couple of days ago from Ikea store for US $199. Their website said they had 42 in stock so they are planning to sell a lot of them. That said, there was not a single...

The IKEA Eneby 12 inch measurements

While I hooked up my measurement equipment I also made a short measurement of my $89 IKEA Eneby bluetooth speaker. Measurement distance around 1.4 meter using one of my Line Audio OM1 microphones.

Those Braun L710, 810 etc not only look beautifully but also sound and measure impressively well for being released in 1969 (!), am glad to have them in my small vintage loudspeaker collection.
