Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

[Sal1950]

PJ you get a knock on the noggin? That’s no Gennie! Looks good though.

But It would be nice if Genelec would start making some speakers in handsome cabinets like those.

At the moment obsessing over these Ellam 9800 mk2 from Troels Graveson
They remind me of vintage Cabasse and in a way of my old Kef Reference 104/2's.

it's like back in the day when you asked a kid to draw a car they'd basically draw a volvo 240 lol - nice boxy boxes

That speaker is popping up on the Internet because it’s just being released and so there’s some advertisements going on.

I generally like the look and I like the word finish and I think they is a very graceful looking design.

The big turn off for me is the big aluminum faceplate. That’s where it takes a turn toward the industrial. Yuck. Would much prefer that it was black or some other subtle colour that might mix with the rest of the cabinet.

The horn is not well done, has a rough surface. Bronze can be polished ...

Part of the aesthetic charm of them though.
I'd treat with linseed oil to keep them this tone of not quite shiny and keep that blotchy look from going full on autumnal and green ^_^

Don't know whether linseed oil would help, it is not a Cricket bat.

linseed oil was/is used to protect metals against oxidation for centuries. The way they protected all brass on board ships was with a rag and linseed oil. It seeps into the crystalline structure of metals and polymerizes there. You don't leave it on the surface but rub it off after a little bit of a soak-in period.
Most I beams are treated with a linseed based product out of the steelmill so they don't crumble while they sit exposed before they get purchased.
In shipbuilding before the first coat of paint goes on the hulls are treated with Owatrol - basically linseed oil and a solvent to help it penetrate deeper.
There is also products to treat aged plastics such as Polytrol and bring them back from fade. It is not synthetic so UV will have its way and re-application is needed eventually. But when covered with paint it ll do its thing for a long long time in the metal hulls of ships.

That I know, I was just joking, as linseed oil won't make that rough surface go away. If that is supposed to be a "wave guide" or a sound guide, it shouldn't be rough.

Ah =] Sorry I am a deadpan sort of person =S ( autism rules * makes devil sign * lol )
I think by the looks of it more horn than waveguide, but the difference is math and physics and nomenclature.
I still like the pitting in Pitt and Giblin regardless ^_^

They are nice looking, and simple in design. Easy for anyone to recreate.
Price says, don't buy.

If it is uncoated bronze, it will anyways get patina over time. And polished bronze with patina looks really strange and uneven. Maybe a reason why the manufacturer opted for brushed or raw surface which looks like straight from the casting process.
