Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

These surrounds (Purifi?) may offer acoustic and measurement advantages, but they are ugly as hell and remind me of the Alps, Rocky Mountains or Andes seen from above.

Even the white snow is correctly represented at higher elevations of the surround!

They need to make a grill just for the surrounds

There are several examples of irregular surrounds, such as here from Fyne Audio and 18sound.

But something as irregular as Purifi's is a real visual challenge.

I can see the advantages of an irregular surround structure, but I can't imagine the technical implementation being easy in terms of a clean mechanical realization.

The color (Pastel Yellow?) is a bit girlish to my taste, but it seems to fit to that environment...

Let me guess, the Yamaha works better for midrange?

How come no tissue paper over tweeter?

Same question posed:

Got my little hands on the Purifi 10"s

I think Vance Dickason liked it. :) "After testing some 5000+ speakers, I am rarely impressed by a new woofer. The Purifi 10” is the exception. I think this might be the best woofer I have ever tested." He is going to be over the moon then when the 12" Purifi comes out.

Here’s a speaker with a sultry wood finish:

I’m going to put in a word jet again for the Thiel 2.7s in ebony (that I own… I prefer them with the grills on):

I also of course like Thiel 3.7s:

Here are the 3.7s in a limited Gibson sunburst finish:

Quite interesting drivers...

It's rather interesting how the vibrations are transferred to the corrugated aluminium membrane and the wavy membrane. The transfer of vibrations to the woofer is not so different from what Sony and other Japanese companies were doing in the 1980s. I recall a particular group of people experimenting with a corrugated aluminium membrane made from food packaging a few years ago, achieving quite good results. There is a YouTube video available somewhere.

Imagine a driver like this with purify surrounds
