Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

[Behrelec 37]

These speakers from Germany were once in my home, and I really liked their appearance. I compared them with Genelec's 1037b model for about a week in the 1995/96/s. These Geithain 901K models sounded quite similar, although they weren't as precise, but the bass was much better than Genelec's.

But the sound image was like looking through large binoculars while sitting on my sofa facing the speakers, i.e., these Geithain speakers. In other words, the sound image was a structure with a diameter of about three meters built around two speakers when viewing a stereo image/listening to the rhythm from them. So the stereo image did not blend together properly, unlike what Genelec did right at the time.Still, I think these Geithain speakers are really beautiful with this veneer. I had with a birch veneer surface.

This is a $1.3 million USD speaker that was quite popular at the Tokyo International Audio Show.
Personally, I don’t really find it that stylish, but it definitely attracted a lot of attention.

Even if there would be a serious 130.000 USD involved in material and labor cost, then the profit would still be 900%. Ridicules if you'd ask me.

Elipson speakers from France are mentioned on ASR.

Google Search

I thought ASR might enjoy these photos of them being used in the French Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française - ORTF Studios in the 1960's. (These are not my photographs)

The ORTF microphone technique was developed there and much of the early Musique Concrète was too.

Another bespoke speaker maker is House Under Magic in Brooklyn, NY. They seem to be focused on clubs and bars. Many of these bespoke speaker makers, like OJAS, are turning formerly DIY speaker building into a business.

They built some speakers for an art and event space in Seattle, Washington.

They built 6 White Dragon systems which using a multi-entry horn. Those go along with a Danley BC415 sub array. The space is all concrete, not sure how it sounds. For scale, the speakers are 9-10 feet tall.
