The best looking speakers


I have 2 systems in my house. I am quite happy with what I have.
but I was wondering, what are the best looking speakers out there?
I haven’t taken up the question of new speakers with my wife, but more aesthetically pleasing speakers might help my cause/diseas.

If you have $260,000 you could get a pair of the MBL 101 X-tremes. I guess it is no surprise the speaker won a Golden Ear Award in The Absolute Sound. In reality, however, I would go with Vienna Acoustics, Sonus Faber, or B&W. 
I've got two set of Acoustic Zen's (Adagio's in Maple Maple and Crescendo in Walnut Burl) and both set's are beautiful pieces of furniture to look at let alone the sound they produce.
I have Sonus Fabers, Martin Logans and Harbeths and they are all beautiful in the right settings. 


Taste being subjective all I could contribute is what are the best looking speakers to me.

I actually think the Thiel 2.7 speakers, which I now happily own, are about as close to "perfect" for speaker aesthetics as I can think of.They depart from the boring rectangle shape, yet aren’t a crazy, gauche design, but very sleek and contemporary with gorgeous wood finishes (mine being ebony). A really beautiful piece of furniture which IMO enhances a room.

I also really like the Joseph Audio Perspectives - just a bang-on combination of slender proportions that combined a modern-with-classic look with impeccable wood finish work.

Also love the Devore Fidelity O/96 speakers for a great combo of comfy-classic styling made contemporary.
