Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

[ryanosaur]

Theme of this thread is beauty only.

Aesthetics, posed as a question!

What's that "ultrasonic generator"?

 

[MattHooper]

In a thread of 'beauty' I would even demand the 'size', but that is a different theme.
And this is not 'fun thread', but slowly degrades to dump thread (what I would regret).

Is it that difficult to not only c and v but provide (and look for) a minimum of information?
I would be ashamed to pollute like this (but I'm just an OWM of the boomer's generation, far off digital natives understandings...).

It’s a fun thread, where people post photos of loudspeakers for others to enjoy and comment on as to the aesthetics.

No need to get wound up about it.

Being on ASR doesn’t mean that we all have to be Spock all the time.

Built-in super-tweeter. Good for those with bat-range hearing . Maybe there is one at the back of the cabinet too…

Personally I prefer subsonic generators instead.

Peavey Kosmos. Easily the best parameter naming of all the subharmonic synthesizers. Bad enough to make a lot of lesser speakers look less pretty, especially the woofers.

You’ll need a few of these to pair with the generator.

Nubert Nuvero Nova series.

Prices range from 2.2k for a pair of the three way bookshelfs to 12k for a pair of the big floorstanders.

Nubert and Canton both upped their game in the looks of their respective reference series. I like the Cantons look a little bit more, but the new Nuvero Nova series also is a step up.

Once again:
posting plain images, derived from crawling the internet, does not fullfil the aspect of a science based community.
At least there should be mentioned manufacturer and model, but for a science based forum measurements would be appreciated.

With YT links there are forum rules (to give a, at least, short information about the content), what I would appreciate to see here too.

(Don't want to perseverate any one or two week again)

Well I'm an old bloke too and look at this thread for "beautiful speakers" and don't care who makes them, since I won't be buying any of them because a lot of(most?) of them sacrifice performance for looks.

Personally I would be happy if this was a pictures only thread and don't care that the OP normally doesn't include text.

So we old blokes are not all the same

no measurments needed as the factor that we speak about here is visual beauty, which is by definition subjective and sà impossible to measure to objective standards.

But I agree that brand and model is the minimum, and those without should not be in this tread. Also no AI generated or so, only real speakers.

Your speakers should be invisible…. At least when you close your eyes

Mine are bright orange, so I can probably "see" them with eyes closed. Not directly, but in broad daylight they must contribute some to the light shining thru my eyelids.

If my speakers looked like that, I'd never close my eyes

I’d say they have managed to make something unique look tacky!

I think I would have close my eyes every time I went in to the room if I had a pair of those there

The lower part looks like some twisted guts ... but I know some who like such ‘insight' ...

I actually decided to make my home theatre speakers essentially invisible. I could not put them behind my projection screen, and so they flank the projection screen in front, like many home theatre set ups. But I surrounded the screen with black velvet as well as a portion of the floor in front of the screen, and then the LCR speakers are placed in front of the screen. I had fitted deep black velvet covers, made for all the speakers and their stands. And once they were covered, they effectively disappeared against the black velvet backdrop. Unless the room is really bright, most people don’t even know those speakers exist. And they’re completely invisible for when I’m listening to my two channel system or when watching movies.
