Best of the bunch I think. SF starts getting a bit strange looking up from here

 

 

 

Always loved their back-lean.  Just beautiful looking speakers.

One of our own

Not mega high end but very sexy IMO, I've liked Plinius gear since the first time I saw it. not to blow my own trumpet but I probably wouldn't own it if I didn't like it. I still sit and look at the sexy curves some nights while I'm listening. They look like they are built like a tank (they are) but still have a kind of soft appealing look.

 

prepared to die on this hill. They hit me right in the feels

Imagine playing back from all four arms simultaneously, that must be trippy. Like listening in a stadium, with half-second spaced echos...

I was going to comment about how much ugly stuff there is in this topic, but then decided not to.

There's only a few components that look good in gold...... imo this is one, would buy it just to look at.

I'm not usually a big fan of ESLs, but this one does have an industrial charm to it. Which brand is this?

It is the top of the line Martin Logan; Neolith.

Would look good around my glass topped dining table...then again would need a lot of stacked cushions on them to get the seated heads above the table!

I bet this one will divide, but I've always admired the aesthetic styling of Estelon.

 

 

I haven’t.... because I have never heard of them!

I must say, this is the first time that I have heard people praising the beauty of the back of a loudspeaker! I sure hope they actually realise they are looking at the back of a loudspeaker…

I guess ML wanted us to appreciate the 'derriere' more given the way the photographs were taken ?

 

The Lecson AC1 and AP1/AP3 pre power combo still amazes me. It's nearly 50 years old!

 

And no I don't want to hear about reliability. ?

 

Edit: Oops. Current production you say? I love the classic industrial styling of the Sun Audio amps (unchanged since forever).

Hi Marc,

 

you chose the wrong thread!   I would have understood this one’s looks better if it were a prop in a comedy about audiophiles....

Hi guys

 

I won’t deny it: I have trouble thinking of Hifi gear that would meet any conventional standard of beauty. Consider the simple spouse test: how many of our spouses would pay even $100 to have any one of our Hifi items added to their showcase living area as a non-working artefact of decorative beauty?

 

The answer is so close to ‘not one’ that it is simply damning. 

 

Cheers

That's why I am happily single with a house full of audio equipment. And lovin' it!
