Ugly vs Gogeous speakers


I know speakers should be all about sound but I can't help responding to the look as well and this presents me with a dilemma.

I have owned B&W Nautilus 803's for many years and love the sound and value (excellent sound for reasonable cost). I would love to upgrade but I (and wife) think that the retro Star Wars R2D2 looking speaker (802) is nothing we would have in our living space.

What do others think the best looking / sounding speaker is? Do looks matter to you?

My wife isn't the sort of person who would care what my speakers look like but would certainly have issues if they smelled bad. Speaker design esthetics are so all over the map it's amazing, and that's actually a good thing.
Sorry about the empty posts above. I fell in love with the esthetics of the Legacy Focus.  I bought them in 95.  I think you might describe them as Art Deco and still love the looks and the music that flows from these beautiful 7way gems 22 years later. The new Focus do not look as good.
