I really like the shape and colors the Focal Sopra No.2 comes in. On the other hand, I think JBL has made some of the most hideous speakers in history. I feel like whoever styles those things has some strange obsession with butts and anuses because too many of their products look like butt cheeks or spread anuses to me. I suppose that says something about my gazing at butts and anuses, but I prefer to do that in the near field with women, not from afar with speakers.
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?

For me it is Gale GS401 speakers: www.vintagegale.com Not only do they look spectacular, they sound it to. I actually prefer the sound of the Gale speakers to my B&W Nautilus 801 speakers. See my previous post on these speaker and a TT/Tube based system I have recently assembled. |
Not asking about sonics but what are your thoughts about the Vivid Giya speakers? https://www.vividaudio.com/speakers/giya-reference-line/models/giya-g1.html |
