that's good for a camera, it makes it very durable (yes, i've used this type of Bolex film camera to make short films in the analog times). But for speakers, especially hifi speakers this is not a good design i think also. And the Barefoots even make it worse by replacing the metal by cheap plastic (those i saw years ago at least)
Over-designed.

Very cool concept and a welcome change from plenty of the “most beautiful” speakers offered in this thread!

Which blade looks better?

The speaker he posted is also called Blade...
Ok. Kudos for creativity and thinking outside the box. It’s a little pointy, but I do like it despite said pointy.
The Herberth NLE-3 presents itself with an imposing architecture, its bass driver spanning nearly the full width of the cabinet, a true 12-inch transducer. The midrange unit, with a diaphragm that appears to measure some 6 inches across, is mounted in a chassis whose surround adds at least another 15 millimetres to its profile. At the top end, the tweeter is sourced from SEAS, a respected Scandinavian manufacturer, commanding around €70 each; its titanium sibling, incidentally, approaches €100.Nice to see Harbeth doing something new. Expensive compared to the competition though.

Agreed. I can see where Harbeth might have an interest in "modernizing" away from their line of exceedingly traditional wooden monkey coffins, but this isn't the way to do it IMHO.
I was responding to the image of the two KEF Blades on a blank field. No reference to (or interest in) that pointy thing.
That amp stand is to be interpreted as ... marketing visual capture ... why bother?Ok. Kudos for creativity and thinking outside the box. It’s a little pointy, but I do like it despite said pointy.
What troubles me more is their choice of Amp Stand!
What in the name of all that’s good in the world were they thinking?!! The flimsiest wire mesh patio chair? C’mon. IKEA wouldn’t even sell that, and I sure as hell would choose to go back inside from whatever restaurant or cafe patio was furnished with those in hopes of finding something “nicer” to sit on.
At least use a milk crate or some cinder blocks. Sheesh!
