What is the worst colour of speaker finish to you?
I saw Rockport speakers in pink-and-white finish. This colour I hate for anything. Not only speakers. I could not even stand seeing the Mary Kay's company pink Cadillacs!
The new trend towards "automotive" finishes-paint- really turns my stomach. Look at Revel, beautiful cabinetwork destroyed with paint. I prefer natural finishes of the wood used for the cabinets.
That HotRod version of a Meadowlark--didn't they have flames or something on it? I thought it was tacky as hell (no pun intended: I didn't catch it 'til I finished the next paragraph).
Regarding the "banalness"--I do find these threads more interesting though than ones asking which cables to get, or any other pseudo-scientific product that has insignificant increase in sound performance. And with these threads opinions are ok.
I own some Proklaim II's that are fabulous speakers but must admit they have a face (finish) that only an audiophile could love. Sort of a gray granite look and shaped like an outdoor rock speaker. But they do play music!!
