[JiiPee]

Simple and elegant. Beautifully finished. Harrin Kaiutin Metso:

 

[Puddingbuks]

Beautifully finished - really? Visible screws and plastic feet? Yellow with red color scheme?

Beautifully finished - really? Visible screws and plastic feet? Yellow with red color scheme?

Not to mention overpriced. 3600€ a pair.

These have probably already been posted, but couldn't resist because of likeness with Pingu.

C'mon guys, open another thread for the ugliest speakers in the world, this thread is about the most beautiful speakers in the world!

They will only end up with the same content.

Let's just hope the SQ justifies the priceView attachment 90559

It’s so beautiful I’m pretty sure my wife would leave me if I added it to our living room.

Well, I thought this thread was about the most BEAUTIFUL speakers? But in the ten last pages, except a few ones, I see only weird monsters with sometimes even more stranger electroacoustic designs (except the Cabasses Sphere and Pelegrina and the Augspurgers and the big TAD or Kinoshita (I can't say they're beautiful, no they're not, but at least they're really well engineered indeed).

But c'mon guys and gals, I want to see BEAUTY and purity of form, NOTHING ELSE matters here !

 

[Multicore]

Beauty, eh? Hm. I think I'm out of line with the house ASR aesthetic. I like this record cover.

I'd say that's beautiful speakers.

 

[Angsty]

I am amazed by this interpretation.
You “have a hunch” and “creator going for something looking different” based on what ffs
Several Wilson Benesch speakers use isobaric bass loading.

I withdraw the statement. Isobaric loading is a thing for Wilson Benesch like horns are a thing for Klipsch. My lack of familiarity with the Wilson Benesch line led me to the wrong conclusion.

I assume the dial gauges measure pressure? Clever! Does the valve with the blue handle on that sweated copper pipe permit pressure regulation between the cabinets it is attached to? I hope it is a globe valve and not a gate but the James engineers that created this probably know what valve to use in speaker cabinets.

 

[hungry_anteater]

Yes, those Martin Logan CLS IIz’s get my vote for Most Beautiful speakers as well.

Closely followed by Revel’s original Salons:

What a pity Revel abandoned this daring design language for its conservatively bland and boring Salon 2...

I’d happily take a pair of bland and boring Salon 2’s.

In a word, yes.

Oswald Mill makes perfectly good (and ironic) steampunk.

The pressure gauge and gate valve on this effort would be funny if ... they weren't so twee. It'll be a while before I can unsee, so I'm going to animate myself sufficiently and reclude these posts via my ignore list. For a bit. Self-defence. Nothing personal.

Nick Santorineos built these, and while quirky and hilarious, they are beautiful!

Yes, they do sound great! An RS100/SB14 DIY coaxial in the eye, and a Dayton Designer Series woofer is used in a bandpass that quite literally vents out the posterior.

Which gives a new meaning to "Port noise".
