If you had said that, that's one thing - for example, a lot of people love the sound of Wilsons but don't want a pair of Transformers in their living room.

But you just kind of dropped into the thread and told us you felt they were ugly.

True true It was an impulsive reply, didn't think it through.

Hey, I called the Devialet the pizza box once Did not go down well with its owner. As it was in person I could at least pick up on the vibe and say that no offence was intended. All the reviews say they are the size of pizza boxes.

I would have said the Wilson's look more like a work place fail - a dodgy stack of boxes. I think Focal are more successful with the speaker stack concept, visually at least.

Focal are better to look at than the Wilson's, but I know which I would prefer to own by a significant margin. hint

In certain decors Giya could work. If you put forth a radical design which I believe these to be not everyone is going to love them.

I own the G3 and like their look. But I totally understand it is a controversial look due to the radical design. I have no doubts they were not designed to be mainstream.
