Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

These are the most beautiful speakers in the world.
I applaud your work and enthusiasm! Isn't it grand how diverse the options are within our shared hobby!It wasn't at an audio show, but the system was at my home. However, there was an audio evening with friends, some of whom had traveled from far away, and it was a great evening. I received a lot of positive feedback.
Based on looking at the room and the equipment I'm pretty sure the sound wouldn't be quite what I am after, but that's not the point. Well done!
All that aside, this is a thread about aesthetics... I much prefer the Dieter Rams designed submissions.

Hornception. Horn in a horn. Horn^2.The entire front wall is comprised of 3 massive horns!

Upon my first glance, this room looks as if one of the most uglily modernized prayer hall of Japanese Shrine with too much gold leaf.
I like how in the big horns there are loads of smaller horns, are there even smaller horns inside those? Horns all the way down.The entire front wall is comprised of 3 massive horns!

The disco balls can't possibly do much good for the radiation pattern either.
Do you own a pair of H3s? Or is it just an avatar?A-For-Ara Synergy Horns are stunning IMO:

Avatar. I think they are pretty. My avatar used to be the backside of a Danley synergy (which I do work with professionally) but not as visually attractive haha.
Oh
, sorry, I didn’t look at the picture carefully, but was thinking about H3. The H3 certainly looks different inside.thunderchicken

Took 36 pages for someone to get there, but this is certainly it.
Out of the last 10 pages this is the only one that I think actually looks like a statement piece.
For those who read a bit of French (otherwise, machine-translation might work too) here is the definitive ultimate piece of audio literature about that brand : https://tryphonblog.com/2017/01/08/les-fabuleuses-enceintes-rehdeko/
I left my browser open to the Monarch speaker page on Oswalds Mill's website, and went into another room. Then I hear my wife making an excited fuss about something so I go back in there and she's saying "Omigosh, those are the most beautiful speakers I've ever seen!" She has been with me to more audio shows than I can count so she's seen quite a few.
And let me add that those big wings are not just for looks! They are highly functional. What they do is, push the "baffle step" effects down in frequency, such that the Monarchs will have a directivity index better than or equal to a cardioid down to about 80 Hz(!).

When I look at the setup as a kinetic art object or sculpture, I also find it aesthetically pleasing. In general, you have to give OMA credit for its artistic quality and creativity. It goes beyond technical functionality.
Certainly not the reaction from my wife.

Not my reaction either. Extremely fugly, and its legs looks like the final project from a high school welding class.
