wow!
that must be even better than the "painted on bird droppings" treatment.
more it better!

for "common" production drivers i thought the Fostex FE138ES-R looked nice, really liked the subtle multi-color cone.

for something less common, i thought the MyEmia Lowther field coil conversions came out beautiful, especially the patined cooper...

Although I've never heard the Feastrex , I think they are one of the best looking drivers.

I've heard a number of them,
really liked the small field coil version in the "Nessie" style box,
although other versions/configurations were noticably "lacking" to my ears.
As to looks, they always remind me of a cuspidor...

As a simile, good call. It's been fun looking at these but I use grilles on everything so no bragging points for looks.

I had to look up "cuspidor": a spittoon: a receptacle for spit (usually in a public place).

I'm disappointed there doesn't seem to be any Feastrex at RMAF this year
