Ugly vs Gogeous speakers

Every time I see a pic of the Lawrence Violin Speakers I think about cashing
in my Funeral funds at my Credit Union .

Heresy III very classy, nice looking, not too big box speakers on low stands. Me like! WAF very good too!

These could have been big sellers if the port had been strategically located.  :-)

Have not seen for a while, but I suppose the speaker I recall that I found perhaps most visually appealing of all are Jadis Eurythmie.

Me like! Gotta convince wife.... Or settle for something similar but a bit toned down and more practical:

Wife like Victorian!   Could be....

I like exotic woods liked striped ebony and at one point nearly bought a pair of Thiels just for that (and they sounded good of course). Alas, I have generally bought speakers for sound only…Vandersteen 1Bs years ago…a large sock…Silverline Preludes vinyl veneer in fake rosewood (looks more like walnut, but very resistant to damage), lots of all black stuff, rosewood Viennas. My recently acquired Heresy IIIs I yammer about were ordered as simply black, but I was sent the more pricey Capitol Edition Ebony that's sort of a dark purple with matched veneer you can't possibly see…fine with me. Note that the stock "salt and pepper" grills are prone to sagging (weird) and Klipsch offered to send a new set although they noted it's an issue with that grill fabric. I had already ordered a set of standard black grills that are sag free, and it was easy to move the Capitol badge to those since they use a rubbery sticky stuff that seems to have staying power. The black grills look great with the "purple" finish.
