The best looking speakers

If you can find a pair for sale, the Jadis Eurythmie................The ’96, N.Y. Stereophile audio show, at the Waldorf, was their introduction to the US market, along with some other Jadis gear. I was part of that exhibit, as the music playing host. Many significant others, who seemed to be dragged to the show by their nerdy audiophile spouses, lol, wrote on comment cards handed out by the importer, on how beautiful they were, and how much they looked liked giant butterflies ( no kidding, and no comments from the majority of them, about the music being played ). Those music comments were left by the nerdy audiophile spouses, again, lol.

 This " best looking speaker " subject, is generally, when a husband, spouse, or roommate ( the audiophile buyer ), does not have a room totally dedicated to him / her self. Somewhat unfortunate, as, the music enjoyment, which we all agree, is the 1st and foremost basis, for purchasing any and all equipment, to satisfy the ears, hearts and souls. And yes, as in speaker choice for listening, it is highly subjective, with the cosmetics / room decor thing.

prof....good for you, as, it should be.....The point I was making was based on me, and my experiences....Great example. My ex wife ( we were together for 34 yrs ), did not like the look of many speakers I have owned ( not just speakers, such as cables, elevated, on wood / ceramic blocks, etc ), but appreciated my listening habit ). I always had my own dedicated audio room, which was pretty much used by me, and listening buddies visiting. I was never " limited " to what was brought into " my space ". This was also an agreement the ex and I had made ( sort of like a prenup, lol ), prior to our engagement. When she visited my, at that time, current home, during our dating period ( I was 24 ), it was quite clear, she was not as " accepting " as your wife. I helped hundreds of listeners over the years, in putting systems together, and there were more conflicts, than not, when it came to the " looks " department. I do appreciate, as well, the fact that you need to be pleased, visually, with your speaker choices. I would own an " ugly " speaker, if it gave me the performance that satisfied my enjoyment of listening. I suppose, my modified Klipsch Lascalas, and the subs I had built, would not please many, on a visual level. Again, these have been my experiences. So, I do understand, not " all " spouses, are like yours.......Enjoy ! MrD.
