What's with the diffraction-inducing metal rings? Seems like an unnecessary feature other than for some attempt at an aesthetic, while also doing nothing to stand out from other designs that do attempt to reduce diffraction effects.

I don't mind the "eye", but their stands are ugly af. Can't they come up with something less "busy"? Plus, we need someone to do measurements on stuff like this. I listened to the Devialets and was thoroughly unimpressed.

I don't think that anyone can afford to send them

I've proposed setting up a single- or double-blind listening room at a big show like Axpona, but it would be even crazier to set up a Klippel at one. I think I saw it took Erin about 2 days to set his machine back up when he moved- would be a bit of an expensive endeavor to have to show up early to the show to do the setup. I doubt most of the high-end vendors would consent to getting their speakers measured. 135k speakers have nothing to gain from a review that could only point out flaws in something that is marketed to be "perfect" or something like it.

Jibbering jebus, no!

That’s as attractive as a ceiling being pulled down to expose all the crap behind it.

It looks like a ceiling tile was used in this open baffle speaker.

So the consensus is that a beautiful speaker has some mix or purity of the following traits:

A mainframe computer
A 70s mid frame computer or tape unit
A snail or mushroom or quail
A coffin or sculpted coffin
A robot
A evil ominous Picasso sculpture
A ostridge
A alien or of alien origin
A mad science contraption
A lipstick or vibrator
A arrangement of spheres or cones or boxes
A lot of industrial metal or screws
A garish or loud paint job or wood veneer
Or simply is ginormous

LOL

OK now you have to post a photo of speakers that you find aesthetically pleasing

I think here are speakers, but no consensus.
Sometimes here are beautiful, but more often ugly speakers.
The thread should be renamed from
"Most beautiful speakers in the world?"
To
"Speakers in the world"
