Ugliest speaker ever?

I've been following the thread seeking nominations for the "coolest speaker ever", and I can think of a few speakers that merit such a distinction. While we're at it, however, let's list some of the ugliest speakers ever designed. I can think of a few recent ones, such as the Avantgarde horn speakers (Uno, Duo, etc.), and the Calix Technology Phoenix Signature (see page 58 of the May issue of Stereophile for a photo). Other nominees?

Quad ESL;

My friend thought that they where the back seats from a 60's Buick.

They should be given extra ugly points if they're dusty & have a couple of dents.

Most if not all JMLab speakers are pretty ugly. So are:

NHT 2.9 and 3.3.

Most if not all Cabasse speakers.

Speaker Art Proklaim's....truly excellent speakers....but they look like a giant tooth. I own them and proudly display them in my living room, so I can say this!

sdcampbell,

why don't you just admit you're not sophisticated enough to appreciate quality horn loudspeakers? as you obviously have a strange obsession with their "looks". i suggest you stick to nice coffin box speakers and your home theater amp. plonk.
