Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

Anyone recognizes that mid driver?

I found some good shots of a previously mentioned candidate (by DanielT,) one that I remain smitten by since their introduction, the Snell AiiView attachment 481307

Reminds me of the JBL 212, 1977.

That looks like the new Gershman speaker?
It looks awful, sort of like “ trying to be interesting and stylish for a speaker back in the 1990s”

It's Fostex, not sure of exact model. Beautiful drivers indeed.

I have lot of reasons to believe this is going to be have lot of technical flaws

The woofers in the Gershman are Dayton RSS210's, and yes, the mid is a Fostex Sigma.
Tweeter is a Peerless 27mm.

Vitavox in the UK https://www.vitavoxhifi.co.uk/. Founded in 1931, they continue to make their own drivers. They do custom design and manufacturing, including variations on their historic models. They are big on LF and HF horn designs and corner horn designs. The TriStar is a corner cabinet.

There must be a show coming up and they are issuing press releases. More at https://www.vitavoxhifi.co.uk/horn-systems-chooser.

They build their own TR32B slot tweeter. I've never heard them, but I was always fascinated by the JBL 077/2405 and have looked at drawings of them. Still don't understand how they work. Turnbull is working with a Japanese company on a slot tweeter without the "glass"/lucite diffuser.

These are built to order. No idea of the price. Stated sensitivity is 105dB 1Watt at 1 meter!

This is about the least beautiful screw finish and cheapest low quality wire termination job I've ever seen on any commercial speaker build, disgraceful!

I’m still a sucker for a speaker full of luxurious finishes like this one (from the current Warsaw audio show):

I’d love to hear it.

Klangwerk endo from the early 2000 … Swiss boutique with a few bending wave transducer design … I liked their monolithic shape

Beautifully finished, sure, but it still kind of looks like a veneered refrigerator.

Loewe Grand Inico with Purifi and Burmester chassis.
I think the front is very nicely designed.
Whether it makes sense acoustically would have to be measured.
