Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

[Audionaut]

I find those speakers terribly offputting.

These are also pure PA speakers, which probably no one would set up anywhere without a front grille - certainly not in a living room. Typical uses include weddings, banquet halls, or smaller public jazz sessions.
For a system like this, I think they look quite nice.

But for you, any speakers that don’t feature perfectly crafted wood grain somewhere on the cabinet are probably not the right choice.

Or this from Eric at Tekton:

I have a friend who likes to tinker and occasionally builds speakers, even though he doesn’t really know much about it.
He was so excited about the coaxial speakers I recommended to him that he thought putting two of them in the same enclosure would be a great idea and would sound twice as good.
He was a little surprised that wasn’t the case.

These speakers remind me a bit of that, because they negate the advantages of line array speakers by adding a second, parallel line array.

And that beautiful rug—you forgot about it.
Sarough or Kashan style, though Sarough seems slightly more likely.

I wouldn't say beautiful... but probably expensive...

L'Acoustics is introducing the L1, a hanging array speaker for large venues. Think outdoor festivals. 160dB and a cardioid design to focus the energy forward. The side-mounted cardioid 18″ transducers deliver up to 18 dB of rear rejection between 20 and 250 Hz, and more than 26 dB of rejection below 80 Hz.

They are also introducing the CS1 cardioid subwoofer 150dB 25Hz. 2 21" front and 2 21" side transducers. Only 397 pounds! In the past big sound companies combined front and rear cabinets and tuned their own DSP to create loud cardioid. Dave Rat had a talk about that I posted.

L1

35 Hz-20 kHz

Transducers
LC: 2 x 18”
LF: 4 x 15”
MF: 8 × 8”
HF: 6 x (4” + 2.5”) coaxial drivers with a passive crossover

Weight
256 kg / 564 lb

Dimensions
(W x H x D)
1500 mm (59 in)
x 1005 mm (39 in)
x 
750 mm (30 in)

Each cabinet is driven by a dedicated 16 channel amp+DSP to allow beam steering.

I just don’t like ‘em.

My other association is with the old, ungainly Newform Research (ribbon) speakers (which did great spacious imaging, but sounded metallic and antiseptic tonally IMO);

Those look like an Evil Robot. I wouldn’t want those in the same room when I go to sleep. They will look
Dated and out of style in 20 years

Well crafted wood cabinets never go out of style.

^^^ That just seems like an incredibly bad idea. I would LOVE to see them on a Klippel, the trainwreck would surely be something to behold.

Looks somewhat stylish as a wood-heater?

I hope is the picture, but it looks like some barbarian tried to wash it the VERY wrong way, colors seems like they have bled all over.
That's a pity.

This is what a Geithain published(2 different models)

Geithain's?

They are very well regarded in terms of measurements:

Geithain is quiet reputed in Germany and eastern Europe. They were long hidden behind the iron curtain, but are since the 1970's one of (east-)German's top audio companies. They don't really market outside Europe altough so they are not so known in the US, but that is changing the last decade as they get popular as studio monitors. I also don't thinnk they are distributed outside Europe altough.
