Sonus Faber Aida, MBL 101 E, B&W Nautilus and Martin Logan Statement E2 are on my bucket list for looks. Two down, two too go. :) 374A2771-201D-4853-8EBD-3F4D9A60F326.jpeg

Sonus Faber (Italian design rocks), the Lorenzo speakers from Rhapsody Audio, and I like the Teutonic Hammer looks of the Gobel Divin Marquis. Rhapsody had some Goldmund speakers that looked Zen pretty for smaller urban apartments.

I always liked the looks of the Jadis Eurythmie speakers (carnivorous flower). I also like the Aries Cerat Aurora.

I like the looks of the current Yamaha NS5000 speakers. The wind sail looks of the Clarysis Picolo is appealing (along with being a remarkable performer).

I think i heard that one before .
Certainly not the prettiest ,...... ( german design lol ? ) :)
No German design, then it wouldn't have rounded edges at this time:p. The build quality is far superior to what I've seen from other manufacturers. I only know Zero FX9 speakers from that series. The wood finish is from another world. I'd love to have something like that.
Just sand it and apply a few coats of clear varnish and it will look like this...wonderful

When I saw this, my first thought was that it had a lot of visual similarity to the Lorenzo Loudspeaker shown in the next post. I then discovered that not only are both Audionostrum and Lorenzo Spanish speaker companies, but Josep Gallart is the CEO and chief designer of Audionostrum as well as one of the key designers (or principal?) of Lorenzo loudspeakers.
Not to take this thread OT, but it would be nice to know more about Mr. Gallart and his role in both companies as well as similarities/differences between the speakers he designed for both. On another thread, of course,

Stone audio art, in real it looks much better.
The five-axis CNC machine takes several hundred hours to make something like this from a single block of slate. Next to it is the monoamp.unnamed (4).jpg
