Ugly vs Gogeous speakers

Careful what you ask for:  I bought a pair of racing red KEF LS50s for the living room.  My wife loves their appearance so much she wont consider replacing them with KEF Reference 1s.

Look like Goldmund.  Super expensive!

B&W 800 Matrix. I remember looking and reading about them in stereophile when they first came out. I was in awe back then. I used to look at the pics and dream of owning them one day. Today they are now in my room and love looking at them and the sound is amazing. Don’t know what I like better the sound or their looks. 😂

Tannoy Definition 10T in cherry,  they ended my speaker merry go round, with both looks and sound.

My list of good looking speakers that I had at one time or another...

-Monitor Audio Gold GX50’s in Bubinga Rosewood, book matched
-Paradigm studio 60 V5 in rosewood
-Paradigm Signature S2 V.3 in piano black
-Kef LS50’s in Piano Black / Rosegold
-Kef LS50’s in Piano Black / Blue
-Kef Qx5’s in Graphite 
-Kef Qx5’s in Piano Black
-Dynaudio Xeo 6 in matte white
-Jamo Concert 11
and quite a few others that Im sure I’m forgetting!

I love the look of mbl systems, triangle art, focal, b&w, kef, magico and a ton of other high end manufactures.  

I like the exotic woods, shiny metallic paint, gloss white / black, matte colors. I like attention to detail and high build quality and sometimes you can’t really appreciate that sort of thing except for up close and in person!  Big horn systems are pretty damn impressive looking as well.
