At least two Banana halves.

My wife loves them

Wow. Beautiful speakers and room. I am curious where you're located as I also noticed the beautiful background behind your windows. Nick

Hmmm...a time warp issue, perhaps?

Just the name sounds expensive Only time i visited was for a company bank account in the 90's the bankers were as slippery as their Swiss counterparts. Not to keen on opening accounts for US companies, but when they found out the company also owned a German Gmbh. they became very cooperative. Cheating the German tax authorities was not considered dangerous for them i suppose

What confuses me so much is, I recognise so many of them.

Love the looks and sound of my Sonner Legato Unum’s.

Thank you. I looked it up on the map to see what countries border Lichtenstein. Enjoy your music and the view

I love the looks of Rockport speakers, but for me, these are flat-out the prettiest speaker ever: SF Ex3ma

Lawrence Audio out of Taiwan makes some really great looking speakers:

To each his own. I’m going to disagree with you on this one. Although their style mimics musical instruments, I have an aversion to speaker “coffins”, which these remind me of.

It's certainly subjective. I'm reminded of the late Peter Aczel (of The Audio Critic) who coined the term "monkey coffins" for traditional boxy speakers. While you can do quite a bit with shapes to mitigate that aspect, ultimately most speakers do fall into that same category.

I just think that Lawrence Audio does better than most at making them at least interesting. They sound pretty great too!

I did Blumenhofer, too, but they do make a statement in the room. The sound is sublime. Here is another model I like.

If you have the opportunity, try the Audiomat Solfège Reference 20 amplifier with Blumenhofer. You will never forget this combination promise. A colorful, lively pace, an enchanting 3D stage that makes you want to bow down.~ 10k€

As it happens… and probably not a coincidence..…. I own two of my favorite speakers of all time in terms of aesthetics.
They hit my taste with a bull’s-eye - reserved, contemporary, beautiful wood finishes and combinations of materials, high-level of fit and finish.

And my Thiel 2.7 speakers in tiger ebony finish:
