A nice DIY example.
Nautilus. Swan or ugly duckling?

I've always admired the look of the Salk Sound Veracity HT3 in bubinga. http://www.salksound.com/ht3.html

But if you need a box, you may want to consider this:
Wow! Mates awfully nicely with my castle interior in Scotland!

Is this you? But what I want to know is this: who is she?

I think they are ugly. If you hold your ear close you can hear the ocean, or a noisly amplifier stage, what a rush.

I never did like that look on Cadillacs either. I have to always consider function and safety, and that longest tip appears to be too close to eye or throat level of my 3 year old, so "not no, but hell no".
Function is the ultimate style.Cal Weldon said:Nautilus. Swan or ugly duckling?

I nominate the Eames-styled Stephens Tru-Sonic. I also like the subtle humor of the two-toned cats.
More Stephens catalogs here and lots more vintage stuff here. And last but not least of this vintage artwork.

I don't want to be naughty but I find almost all Eames designs bug ugly.
The Sonus Faber Amati Homage is indeed one of the most beautiful speakers. Technically there would be room for improvement tough.
As far as the Nautilus goes: This design is far from being perceived as neutral (optically). One either likes it or not IMO, htere's nothing inbetween. But it is a very distinctive design-statement and very FFF (Form Follows Function).

She is Coaxa Harley the mistress of Horny Bond. My neighbors.
Just goes to show you how subjective this all is. I personally like the Nautilus but fully understand that others don't.
On the other hand the Artis Karrisima, to me, looks like a one eyed emperor penguin wrapped in a blanket. I get very little visual satisfaction from it.
At the same time I tend to agree with 454Casull regarding "Function is the ultimate style"
So I guess here are my favourites, my babies.
