Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

Cafe of the Oita Prefecture Museum, Oita, Kyushu, Japan

This own would be an interesting spinorama.

One of the nicest looking speakers I owned were Hales Transcendence 5s. Back in the 90s/early 2000s I felt they were ahead of their time somewhat in terms of contemporary looks, build quality and fit and finish.

Though my pair had much nicer Pau Ferro wood finish like these larger Transcendence 8s:

The transcendence eights would’ve been my “ endgame” speakers, I think, if only they would’ve fit in my room.

I do have my endgame centre channel though, the Hales Transcendence Cinema Center - my favourite Central channel I’ve ever heard (and a big mother!)

Which mate seamlessly with my Hales Transcendence T1s which do L/R duty in my surround set up:

Not a fan of the finish in that photo as my T-1 are finished in the much nicer Pau Ferro finish that matches the centre channel.

Looks like they use the same drivers as your Joseph Graphene's ?

I want that Philco console, I've owned a couple of them in decades past. Great bass response. ;)
 
These will go on my oligarch yacht , looks splendid besides the trophy wife in bikini at half my age :D
Dream on. Here is a lead: Lots of trophy wife in Eastern Europe at a substantial discount.. As for the speakers: forget about it.
