Most Beautiful speaker ever????

I have a strong suspicion SF Aida will be gracing this thread shortly.

I've always liked those big boxey Belles

Overall, SF's got the line with the best looks, B&W 800 series (if you like bowling balls ) are classic. The Wilson Sasha, IMO, breaks new ground for that company with regards to aesthetics that go beyond something of a utilitarian look and feel of all their previous speakers. With the Sasha, my opinion may be a bit colored by a couple terrific listening sessions I had with it.

Whispers out of Berkeley say the pictures don't begin to do her justice.

You don't honestly expect me not to think that the WEGG-3 Lunare 1 is anything but the best looking speaker ever built do you?



Unless it is the Lunare 3 from the same builder:



These speakers may look a little wild, but they actually sound terrific and are built by Wiliam Eggleston - formerly founder and Guru of the Eggleston Andras and other fine speakers initially built by Eggleston in Memphis, TN.

The WEGG3 speakers certainly do go in a different direction design-wise than did the Egglestons.

William Eggleston is on the left in the picture below, giving the scale of this rather large speaker . . . .

I stand corrected - the source of the picture mis-identified the folks involved. - and, I really don't think the speakers are very pretty after-all.

Figured that was the case. Bill and I used to talk quite a bit back when he had first started EgglestonWorks.

I feel that these two from the Paradigm Signature Series are gorgeous:


the Signature S8 (this is their cherry finish):




the Signature S2 (this is their maple finish):

A dealer in Birmingham, Alabama that I used to frequent, had a pair of the WEGG3 Lunare 3 speakers in his showroom and I listened to them several times. They sounded good - lots of Dynaudio drivers - with a bunch of Dynaudio Esotar tweeters -

I liked the sound but realized that my home decor wouldn't permit the speakers, and my wife would have thrown both me and the speakers into the street had I tried to take them home.
