What's your current fav looking speaker?

[MDK210]

Forgo performance and list your favorite looking/designed speaker that you can still buy new. I haven't browsed much but the Kef R11 (Satin American Walnut) look very striking with what appears to be a bronze accented speaker array.

I always liked the way SVS' Ultra speakers look. Especially the books and center.

I think those drivers are sexy. I never put the grilles on when I had them.

Monitor Audio is one of my favorites in this department... and they perform well.

I’ve always loved these. Just a Touch of mid century modern.
Also, the sonus faber are gorgeous.

Yes indeed. I like those a lot as well. I know they’re worth the Revel money, but my mattress fund just ain’t filling up like it should be. Lol

How do you like living with white speakers in a dominant world of black and wood veneer?

If you just want to drool over very nice finishes and well designed speakers, you should check out Salk Sound.

Better in person in any case, the grills do have some plastic in them, tho and so are the feet (but those fugly shiny metal feet I don't like anyways).
