Ok, now I know you’re pulling our legs.

They are obviously fifties bedside cabinets.

I am truly sorry and it was a bit of a harsh IMHO.
And now, I have to apologize again since you may not be able to erase that vision from your mind's eye!

I’m sure you don’t like these any better but they at least look less…er…” inflamed.”




These are the Thiel 3.7 again, but in the Tigerwood Ebony finish that I always wanted:

I would keep the speaker grills on, though they look neater . Couldn’t find the 3.7s in that ebony finish though so I had to grab the more red morado wood finish. I’m not actually even a fan of red speakers at all so I was thinking of getting those refinished at some point. Instead, I ended up selling them and getting the next Thiel model down , 2.7, in Ebony (my pair):

From the user manual:
Get yourself a comfortable ladder and position your ears at the level of the tweeter after you've ingested a good dose of psychedelic mushrooms.

I'd be more interested in climbing the humongous giantess. Look, they put a human for scale

I like that Genelec also offers a raw aluminum version of its speakers. I wish other companies would do the same.

And if you don't like the raw look...

Agreed!

Personally I love the purity of Genelec's function dictates form approach.

Each to their own, but the pipe and slippers polished wood speaker-as-furniture style is ghastly to me.

Since design horns are shown, I just remembered that I have in my collection a pair of very rare Technics horns that also part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York:

Artwork that Produces Sound

1988: Speaker System SST-1

The SST-1 twin-load horn speaker system utilized a unique acoustic design. Known for delivering authentic hi-fi sound from a form resembling a wind instrument, it achieved both functional and aesthetic excellence. In March 1990, the revolutionary design of the SST-1 was recognized by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and became part of its permanent collection.

The Cooper Hewitt has a whole exhibit of inept speaker designs (and an excruciatingly predictable selection of album covers from the likes of the Talking Heads and Laurie Anderson) on display through August 16.

Aluminum monitors with burnt-on grease stains are suitable here!

I've always enjoyed the sound of Theils but never could justify the cost of the cabinetry.
Spent that money on Picasso auction piece, which is soothing to the eye and has not lost a dime, on the original investment!

Well, I’m sure you spent more on the Picasso than I did on the Thiels! That’s what the secondhand market is for. I found my Thiel 2.7s for what I consider “ a steal.”

I love the finish, never get tired of looking at them:

WAF is a negative number for that one.

OJAS is installing at members-only club https://stylus.nyc/. The club has a section of their website devoted to audio. It's always nice to have clients with money. Maybe they will start an organ music listening club? Or recordings made on the Imperial Bösendorfer from composers using the low range starting at C0?

Rendering of the plan:

I would say I would not use orange lighting anywhere.
