most beautiful (looking) speakers

Legacy Audio Phantom and the HD model.

B&W Nautilus

I have both those Legacys in my system. Along with Focus Se's , a Marquee Center and 4 of their Foundation Subs.. Here is the Center..   

That's a very fine center. Does it never come with a grille? I don't see any photos of one online.

FWIW I own neither Phantom nor the Nautilus. The Phantoms, do they punch precisely? Everybody always talks about surround diffusion, but even with dipoles I locate everything exactly (my preference), and one thing I consider a must is precise bass impact when things fly overhead. Unless that is your gear is employed for multichannel music.

On topic I do like that Tekton offers colorful options, some of which come out almost ceramic in appearance.

A number of the most amazing looking speakers left me with indelible scars of their sound...

Well said, loudspeakers are to be heard. When looks are priority, sound quality recedes to the shadows. Any serious lisening session should be done with eyes closed anyway... if eyes are open when listening to music, you are barely engaging your eras & brains, you are missing out 90% of what the speakers can translate.

Also, keeping eyes open forces the brain to skew interpretation of the sound to fit what you see...  

All that being said, the most beautiful speakers are the ones made from real wood cabinets. To me, nothing else comes close to their natural beauty, simplicity and honesty.

Sonus Faber Elipsa and Extrema. Franco Serblin Accordo. I have all three and they are all so beautiful in different ways.
