Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

[Flaesh]

Clearly google lens never watched moonshiners or made a still.

And didn't forge copper cones for subwoofers.

I really like (NOT) the way they give us a whole litany of FR(+- anything), Ohms, and all the other normally provided specifications.
OOOHHH! It's ONLY all about how it looks, no matter that it may not sound better that a boombox from the early 1980's.
I got it now! I'll admit, some of them do look good (or at least interesting).
IF any of them had reasonably good sound, I would be surprised.

Hmm. I didn't find it, only different photos. Ah, their way is not to give?))

Looks before sound for sure

The mismatch in the veneer pattern is a bit annoying at this price point, isn't it?

Those horns might be good, but I doubt that implementation performs well at all.

I simply won't pay 2,000,000 for this. And I ever won't rush off to Vietnam for the exhibition just to listen to it.

Wise decisions.

That’s a very nice compliment —thank you!))

You're welcome! It's a pity those horns aren't available so somebody could make a reasonable speaker.

I think it’s feasible to make such horns out of cheap plywood (provided one don't worry about matching the veneer!!). And abandoning the field coils will reduce the project's cost. Or Dewi Sarah (often branding her work under DS Audio or the hashtag #IndonesianWomanAudioDesignBuilder) or may be mainaudio.id eg can help..
I once listened to a Goto system. It was fun, but I’m not sure I’d want to listen to five or six horns in each speaker all the time. Nevertheless, thoughts of mid-bass horns and a horn subwoofer keep running through my mind. What I dislike most about the latter is the ~30 Hz cutoff and those room modes and dips again; I’m used to resonance-free bass and 0 dB at 20 Hz..

Thank you @Pearljam5000 for posting all those pictures of all those mostly weird speakers.
Before this thread and your gigantic contribution, I had no idea how diverse and over the top speaker could be.
When some, thought that because of measurements we could expect some type of homogenization, this thread blows that concept to pieces.
The eye watering price of some of those, reminds me how diverse and heteroclite the world is, very different from my "reality".
All of it totally unnecessary, but so representative of who we are as a species.

Thank you very much, really appreciate it

There are no reactions other than the "like." In reality, I dislike almost everything about it—for instance, that woofer.

I loathe novelty speakers almost as ugly these speakers camouflaged as rocks or ikea’s lamp speakers
