Which is Uglier?

I never thought the Wilsons and Dali were the end all be all, they both are without a doubt well made and sound good, but there is a premium to those that to me are not worth it, but I would love that kind of money to throw around!

The 5A's make beautiful music. Just don't look them in the eye--they ugly! I vote the Vandy,

If only there was somewhere where we could all vote on this....

I beleive Richerd's theory is sound first then everthing else. I have listened to the 5's and think they are probably the best I have heard. Granted I have not heard Wilson's, the high dollar Dali's and so on. 5's are pretty ugly, not as ugly as the 2's and 3's but, when I am in the markert for a new addition to my system, sound is ultimately what I base my decision on. If I get both sound and looks that is just a bonus. I would rather have someone say "Wow, that sounds great!" than "Wow, that looks great! (but thinking it looks like hell)".

I have never wrapped my head around Vandersteen, are they trying NOT to sell speakers????????
