No, Pearljam, no.

I saw 4 different midbasses in those funky looking things. Must not care what drivers they use.

Not only do I hate the aesthetics, but Bosendorfer also seems to be one of those companies who designed technical trainwrecks on purpose.

It is part way to becoming a NXT speaker but without the technology and modelling.

Ettore Bugatti is spinning in his grave seeing his initials on crap like this.

I think he would be more horrified by the car using his name!

 

[Frank Dernie]

Yeah that’s probably what it is. And it’s not VW Bugatti. It’s Rimac that controls the Bugatti.

Only since very recently.
It has been a 2 tonne 2 seat limo with good acceleration and high top speed for a long time. The modular VW engines are immensly heavy because of the design and entirely unsuited to Ettore Bugatti's engineering approach.

Their new models are even nicer

 

[Oddball]

Definitively more modern

But even 20 year ago they were exploring unusual designs.

The history of bevelling goes far back, here's Genelec 1024a from 1979. And yes, it's an ATC SCM75 something in there .

The current ones certainly do not even remotely possess the beauty and elegance of the originals.

One windshield wiper. Those were the days.

Pardon the interruption back to Pearljam5000 extremely ugly speakers.

Umm…
Most beautiful Baffles in the world?

 

[Oddball]

If the beauty includes performance, then this might be amazingly beautiful:

Very, very open baffle?
