Money no object, money an object, whatever. I'm wondering what everybody's ideas are on the most beautiful speakers. I would start by maybe naming the B&W Nautilus 801s. What do YOU think?? Any older speakers that were love at first sight for you?

I can't pick just one but, here is my list:


Any speaker from the Kharma line http://www.kharma.com/

Any speaker from the Avalon Acoustic line http://www.avalonacoustics.com/

Any speaker from the Gershman Acoustics line http://www.gershmanacoustics.com/


Or for just pure visual joy it is hard to not mention horns. To me they always look like they make music fun even before you hear them. It would be like living with a cartoon character: http://www.soundstagelive.com/shows/.../speakers.html

rjason,

Wow!!! Those are some of the most unique and artistic speakers I've ever seen!! Frankly, I had no idea that there those endeavering to create such asthetic delights out of speakers as on the Gershman Acoutics website. I'm no conoisseur in these matters, but some of those speaker designs were very avante garde. If you've any other examples, I'd love to see them.

I am totally with you on the new Infinity line. They are the loveliest speakers to come from Infinity in quite a while. Had the pleasure of auditioning a full set of Preludes at Ultimate Electronics in Tulsa. I was blown away. They brought a new sense of immersion in Dolby Digital, and with DTS music the set was sublime. I also think the Intermezzo series is very nice looking, if a bit pricey for "mainstream" products.

I think the new Meridian DSP-8000 looks gorgeous.

I've seen them in photos but not in person.

The Revels are also beautiful.

Of course this is all a matter of taste.

What floats my boat: Any and all speakers from the MartinLogan line


The new Statements are fine, fine looking units that also beat all comers on sound quality.


I know I love watching (and hearing) my full suite of ML's, and everyone who walks into the home theater comments on the speakers (especially the huge Monoliths).

I was at Waveform on Monday night for a lengthy audition - awesome stuff, and a bargain ! They look much better in person than in the brochure. The "egg" is "way cool" !
