I like Sonus Faber too….  Beautiful fit and finish 

@scotandholly pretty interesting speakers, not sure about the pink, but definitely cool design!

Joshua Miles makes musical instruments that are as pleasing to the eyes as the ears. The finest parts available tailored to your personal preference in woods and finishes. 

I can personally speak to the fit and finish and exceptional sound quality these Alyson's are capable of.

not strictly a speaker but a pop-culture icon and design hit, for sure

They aren't in the beautiful category though.

I think edifiers are amazing, you will love them and also quality is good.

The popsicle like stands are a bit strange.

@ghdprentice ^^

A cello stand would be better if you don't mind the speaker reclining a touch (shouldn't matter for a shorter speaker).

Most cello/guitar stands of course have a spine, but in that case you'd have to remove the neck rest.

I really like the look of Legacy Aeris....

@prismdissonant 

Beautiful woodwork and finish. The popsicle like stands are a bit strange.

@prismdissonant 

pretty good looking speakers! I am sure we'll stumble on a few forgotten items like these,

This thread had probably run its course but all the same

Sony SS-M7 (lifted these pics off another forum)

These fit my eye a tad better than the M3 and M9 models.

While I'm at it might as well toss in Cerwin Vega. Sure all they did was add lipstick to a surround, but it's distinctive and fun and makes you wonder why colored surrounds aren't a standard option, particularly for nondescript black vinyl cabinets.

Infinity Kappa 9

Infinity Renaissance 90

I used to have these and should have never sold them. Back then I was that unenlightened person who thought that all a man needs is ONE set of speakers.

I "love" the BO quote:

"Love it when it’s on. Love it when it’s off."

So you guys are very open about this being mainly a design component - you were really going for the BO Concept furniture thing?

the Xavians do look stunning:

I never liked the B&W sound and so I never got excited about their speaker design But they are decent for sure.

Personally I like the look but don't care for the sound of B&W (any) of their speakers, YMMV.

@cakyol

I have a friend who once saw the B&W Nautilus at a show in the 1990s and has since regarded them as his ultimate loudspeaker. He just loves the design.

[He also likes art deco, Tamara de Lempicka and baroque styling - yuk!].

Whereas someone like myself can’t understand what’s so endearing about having a pair of giant snails situated in your listening room.

I think the Estelon speakers had Krell amps. 

"Ojas Artbook Shelf Speaker Kit - @sevi01"

Great call. I so badly want to assemble and paint these one day. Looks like so much fun: Ojas Speaker Build Video

I haven’t read all the posts but I heard Estelon speakers with VAC electronics this past weekend at Axpona and besides the phenomenal sound they are gorgeous. 

personally, I found

sonus faber Stradi / Elipsa, /aida and Amati anniversario

Another very special one is Usher audio BE-20 / TD-20 speakers, if you like unconventional shape speakers, these looks like sailboat to me, which is just as sexy as sonus faber stradis

B&W Nautilus

Acoustic Research AR 9’s

@roxy54

this is the weirdest story: last year I was comparing 8+ speakers to upgrade.

I have a few "better" speakers in my garage, that I could save from 4+ moves across Continents and States and Coasts. I bought my Celestion 5s in 1996 on Boylston Street. I still remember what the salesguy said: "if it fits your budget, stop looking at more expensive models, you will be happy with it, You will upgrade later"
So 25 years later, when demoing expensive fancy speakers, I unwrapped my Celestions as a reference for every pair. I couldn’t believe my ears, They sounded better or as good as all these fancy KEFs, Wharfedales, SFs, Klipschs, Totems, etc. Not a lof of bass and highs but super easy listening, fun, detailed, warm, inviting a very nice round presentation of any music. I never put them back in the garage and I never will. Hooked up to my 1060 amp forever (perfect match by the way)

Yep, those are the original sl6 with the copper dome tweeter. That woofer is a design that was very advanced for the time with no dustcap. It was designed with laser interferometry to study the movement of the cone and ensure that it was as linear as possible in its pistonic movement. Historic design.

@cd318  wow... yes, they look really cool! Timeless and yet so 90s. They also sound great

@grislybutter 

Looking at some of the images posted it's quite clear that beauty is indeed often in the eye of the beholder.

However, these Celestion SL6s are certainly nice looking speakers.

One of the very few that really do look better without grilles.

The wood finish and the cast grill on Wilson Benesch classic box designs.

@manogolf  

I heard the Adam speakers. They sounded really good. Sorry don’t remember the electronics. 

MBL 101 extremes , in sound and looks a Very unique Loudspeaker.

That's minimalist but beautiful in its own way.

Ojas Artbook Shelf Speaker Kit:

The most beautiful speakers? Among the ones I've seen, Sonus Faber. By far.

That's an unusual but beautiful horn speaker for sure. I'd love to hear them.

Even DIY speakers don't have to be all that ugly.  This is one side of my DIY fully horn loaded triamplified speakers.  It is a bad photo in that it cuts off part of the Fostex t900a bullet super tweeters at the top of the image.

the company that started the Scandinavian invasion - design-wise

They are amazing and beautiful. You're a lucky man.

Classic Audio Loudspeakers T 1.5 Reference. Was a game changing listening experience for me. Won me over the other speakers I was looking for to be the one. Now, they are staying forever. Massive 350 pounds. 

Revel Performa3 F206.  Not particularly high end but the look of them in walnut is fantastic.   I think they are beautiful.
