Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!

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.

Love this humorous thread! Great stuff posted! 

A lot of pent up humor released on me all at once.  it’s too much.  I’ll have to be a cheerful old F all day.

Great topic! I think that the beauty is in the sound, so give me a big ugly, if it sounds great, the appearance will be more acceptable, 

I actually painted my transformers on my monoblocks Islanders colors. They still sound awesome!
