There have been far more egregious examples of “mommy issue” horn design.

You guys are a bunch of horn dogs

Dynaudio's classy & understated Contour 30i has everything in all the right places for me.

Have we done the the diminutive B&O BeoSound2 (Gen3) yet?

It's been said "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder".
I'd give it a thumps up for creating an industrial-chic spittoon design experiment.

These are "just" plain boxes with nice high gloss paint, but the wood baffles make it so much better. Really nice.

Somehow I like that format in general. Speakers wider than deep. Just speaks to my aesthetic sense. Like these Heco Direkt models:

Lovely.

Earlier model… I got a good deal on them

I still have to occasionally throw in a picture of the Thiel 2.7s.

This isn’t my pair, it’s a different finish, but the fit and finish and design of Thiel speakers has always been top rate:

Somebody on Reddit is posting photos of loudspeakers currently being constructed in Europe by his father.

I don’t know how they sound, but I find some very appealing:

Wooden waveguides are nice. At the very least concerning craftsmanship, someone knows what he's doing there!

If drilling helps for acoustical performance, for shure.

I like these kind of short depth and wide front loudspeakers !
Different proportions than usual

Nice! I keep eyeing these. They keep popping up for 800-1000 here in classified ads, tempting.

How do you like them so far?

 

[xanalog]

I don’t know how they sound, but I find some very appealing:

Perhaps the wood's dominant even-harmonics exude warmth!

I still have to occasionally throw in a picture of the Thiel 2.7s.

And every time you do, I have to give it/you a Like!

Personally, I have nothing wood colored anywhere in my place... and never have. I am also not into solid black structures. But it's all about personal preference.

Admittedly, there are some woods over which I would prefer synthetic materials.

Don’t give me anything oak (scars from having grown up in the 70s)

Or anything Cherrywood (scars from furniture/decor shopping through the 90s)
