Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!

That's the new McIntosh Microwave; they are entering the appliance market. The design works well if you keep your audio equipment in the kitchen.

I could never buy an exposed horn speaker like the one lubachi has shown, or Avantegarde no matter how they sound.  For a positive comment, those Vitus amplication products from Denmark have me drooling for an upgrade.  Just gorgeous.

As any good Tralfamadorian would say

"The universe exists as a random and senseless place."

The Washington Post did an article where a non-audiophile reporter went to a local high end shop.  The reporter described the Avantegarde speakers as looking like an air raid siren from a Tex Avery cartoon.  I thought that was a terrific description, albeit one that younger readers might not understand.

OMG,, @lalitk , those look like the server room at your locale telecom company have a fungal infection.

How did anyone sign off these as "ok, they will love it".  WTF are they.
