Popular Post Ralf11 Posted January 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2020 Because aesthetics counts, a thread on horrible looking or scary speakers seems worthwhile... The Computer Audiophile and Summit 2 Link to comment
Popular Post Ralf11 Posted January 4, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2020 This is by no means the worst, and might be a candidate for the weird looking speaker thread, but I offer it as an example to get things rollin' semente and daverich4 2 Link to comment

Blake Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I don’t like the look of any planar speaker, but to each their own.

Popular Post sphinxsix Posted January 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2020 3 hours ago, semente said: Medium sized and large Wilsons... Agree with that. In fact ALL Wilsons, starting with the very first ones. (except the red ones, you just don't notice them in a listening room, I think @The Computer Audiophile will agree ) Always reminded me of: Like I said - ALL Wilsons.. The original WATT price (1981) was $ 4400! (introduced while the most expensive monitor speaker in the US cost $1600)!
