The Gato Audio CLC65? Oh, it’s textbook Germanic engineering: sharp edges that could cut your sense of fun in half, paired with a sprinkle of high-frequency wizardry, neatly bolted down with six screws, because obviously, precision is measured in fasteners. Nearly every brand seems obsessed with the “holy grail” crossover points of 250Hz and 3kHz, stuffing oversized drivers into tiny cabinets like sardines in a tin, with a tweeter waveguide politely reminding you that yes, it does actually know what it’s doing. Honestly, this speaker seems designed for the Germanic market: utterly precise, slightly intimidating, and guaranteed to make its owner feel smugly superior while sipping their black coffee or tea, if they’re feeling particularly rebellious.
At least it provides good ventilation…

One has to have one ear at floor level and the other at ceiling level to hear them.
Am I the only one bothered by the impact of the hat on the hrtf? When I were hats with brims like that I notice the impact, it slightly bothers me.Perhaps our Chinese ASR participants can comment.
Maybe we need a "Most Beautiful Listening Room" topic. Add, maybe this is AI - the camera moves would be very hard to do in a crowded room.
Maybe the subject of the video should join ASR!
From what I have been able to decode, this is from a Chinese subscription short video service "One Piece"

Well, then you probably don’t like Genelec, Neumann, Kii, D&D, etc aesthetics eitherI suspect I would appreciate the sound quality of Soundfield speakers more than their aesthetics(having looked through their website as well).
… anyway, beauty in the eye of the beholder as they say. For me personally, speakers are tools and means to an end, not furniture. But I know many, like their speakers to look like an ornate armoire
… to take it to the extreme, my ideal speaker is no speaker, sound emanating from a point in space, but we aren’t there yet and I digressIndeed, another driver. This a delayed diffused field driver that Soundfield incorporates on most of their designs. It is active during the “pseudo” omni mode (Soundfield refers to it as “concert hall” mode). This is one of the user selectable variable directivity modes.
In complete agreement.Correct.
I am very much anti-industrial/anti-utilitarian/anti-pro gear in terms of aesthetics.
If you are a rack mount amplifier or one with handles, you are not crossing my doorstep.
I can think that way for my work.
But in terms of a home setting, given I’m placing loudspeakers in a main floor in our house, a loudspeaker becomes a de facto piece of furniture… and I don’t want to introduce anything ugly or that does not fit the aesthetics of the room. (at least to my eyes, of course.)
Even if I had a man cave totally hidden away, I’d still prefer speakers that look beautiful aesthetically, which for me is something that comes closer to approaching fine furniture with high-quality materials. Life’s too short to be staring for hours a day at ugly gear.
But of course, as this thread shows, aesthetic taste varies widely.
An audiophile is someone who really doesn't have good hearing; otherwise, they wouldn't continue searching for those super-duper speakers.
Not following. I expect you mean they are not “beautiful” in your eyes … again beauty is highly subjective as has been pointed out numerous times in this thread
