I don't have a problem with horns and i think that the AvantGarde's look like misplaced tuba's on a flower box. Not the worst i've seen, but surely NOT attractive by any means.
As to others that look "funky" or "dorky" ( but may perform well ), here goes. These are in no specific order and since the title says "ever", some of them are a "blast from the past". Obviously, beauty is in the eye of the beerholder : )
Green Mountain Audio Continuum 1.5 ( something about these things just looks "weird" to me )
JM Reynaud Odyssee ( what can i say about these. Look like sideways "eyeball cones" mounted on top of a box )
Pearl Eliptica ( these things look like huge bananas on stands. For $70,000 or so, they could have done SOMETHING with the cosmetics )
Design Acoustics D-12A ( 12 sided Dodecahedron design i.e. a radiating sphere )
JBL Paragon ( worth more now than when they were made. Where in the hell do you put a speaker that is 103" wide ??? )
Old plastic "speaker chairs" that you sat in ( I bet some of you folks still have these down in your basement : )
Ohm F's and A's look pretty "funky" without the grills on too. One of my buddy's came over and saw mine and said "Cool. Star Trek speakers" : )
Klipsch La Scala's in the "utility finish" ( these things are just big, squatty boxes that are ugly to say the least )
Sorry if i stepped on any toes. You can kick me in the shin next time : ) Sean
