I agree with you - the Crystal Arabesques's are now the second more transparent speakers in the world:
Yes, I was looking for a picture of those speakers
The Summit-X is pretty transparent too

What would be best sound quality wise?
Cast glass
Crown glass
Cylinder glass
Drawn Sheet glass (Fourcault process)
Cast plate glass
Polished plate glass
Rolled plate (figured) glass
Float glass
Prism glass
Glass block
Annealed glass
Laminated glass
Toughened glass (tempered glass)
Heat-strengthened glass
Chemically strengthened glass

I wish I could say I like the looks of these speakers, but I can't. I still think the CLS is one of their best looking speakers.
We audiophiles, will likely find the sound from these speakers : hard, bright, brittle, sterile, thin , etc ... It won't matter what type of glass used ...
Interesting ..never knew they made glass harmonicas ... Will get the CD ...

These are reasonably transparent too

Most definitely.There is an earlier thread about them, somewhere on WBF...
Where are plasma speakers when you need them?
There was an article in an engineering magazine a few years ago about generating a local soundfield with many small transducers and applying phase array concepts. That is, essentially no visible speakers, the sound "emerges" (coalesces) at the listening point.
Interesting stuff - Don
Ah first time I've seen them and probably for good reason. Don't read Zoo
