I bet that speaker gets fresh, minty highs though...
But that's Art, man !
It looks plausible as a speaker system albeit for a small auditorium. For extra credit can anybody ID what Cd's he is holding?
Not sure why I feel moved to act as a Lambo apologistBut that's Art, man !It's written in the brand logoI
wonder if this "thing" emulates the sound of a Lambo, which would be even uglier than this object.
By the way, as for luxury cars, I've never beeen a fan of Lamborghini's style, macho hype ugliness. Ferrari and Porsche are much more to my taste.
Looks like it was assembled from the spare parts bin.
Yes one of the prettiest designs ever. But they sure are small when you see one in person. I agree on more recent Lambos. Like a prettied up piece of faux military gear.Not sure why I feel moved to act as a Lambo apologist-- but there was a time...

Oh, in all (well... some) seriousness, and realizing I've shared this notion before (perhaps in this very thread)*, the gear motif on that Hi-Fi Rose thing puts me to mind of the venerable Argus C3 "Brick". Camera Collector Jason Schneider memorably described the styling of a bevy of relatively inexpensive but somewhat deceptively impressive looking cameras like the Argus as Imitation Precision.

I'm sure you're right about the Argus -- I am far from an expert, but the C3s of my ken were brown not grey (or is that gray?).Yes. Ugliness endures. FWIW, that seems to be the stylized C4 and not the iconic C3.
They look like the speakers H.P. Lovecraft would have owned.I could’ve sworn there is an ugly speakers thread, but I can’t find it.
Anyway, this was just posted on the Reddit audiophile forum and these are some butt ugly loudspeakers:

Does it employ an ultrasonic bidet as well?I’m struggling to decide if this one is a pretty monument to audiophile devotion or a good candidate for this thread…

No, the bidet is a sub-woofer…Does it employ an ultrasonic bidet as well?
