Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

The only "box" Linkwitz promoted was an open box. LX521
There's also an interesting discussion here.
 
Very promising coaxial design. Would love to hear one of these.
Those TangBand coaxials are unfortunately not on the level or Genelec,KEF/TAD ones, probably the reason their datasheets don't show any angular responses.
If I wanted a good and affordable compact two-way 8" coaxial I would go for the Mofi Sourcepoint 8 engineered by Andrew Jones:

It looks like they put a modern, black speaker inside an oldfashioned wood box, which ruins the looks. Otherwise I'm with you, interesting speaker.

That's not entirely true - the Thor sub was suggested for augmenting dipole bass at very low frequencies. The Pluto+ is still there too, although arguably superseded by LXsub2 dipoles. The bass section of the Pluto and LXmini is sealed and wouldn't behave much differently if it was a long box instead of a pipe - I think some like that used to feature in the page of Linkwitz-inspired builds.
 
I'm surprised that the woofer they show on the website is apparently not the same woofer you see in the sectional photo.

If that something is 10000€/pair, they know for sure that the buyer won't open it up to check... ;)
I wouldn't be too sure about that

To me look like the same woofer: diaphragm material, shape of screw holes, ribs on the magnet. Probably the magnet itself inside the speaker covered with some kind of acoustic foam, but otherwise they are very similar (and may just be differently drawn by the designer).
 
I don’t know how they sound, but I think the look of these open baffle speakers with a full range driver is beautiful:

Very classy appearance.

Li song Fast 15 is 350US$/pair at Aliexpress, the rest is up to you.
You can even use some real nice wood, and you'd still have a pair of speakers at ~500US$ or less.
