I always kinda liked the Nautiluses, but B&W was my first "serious" set of speakers so I may be a bit biased.
There are so many speakers that are really works of art. I always took a liking to the older Wilson stuff (Maxx, Witt), Kharma Grandes are nice, JM Lab Utopias, JBL K2s, Avantgarde horns are pure artwork, most of the Martin Logan line is pretty sexy, the older Revels, TAG McLaren, the big Legacys. Most of those aren't rectangular boxes, which is I think what strikes me most about speakers. Boxes can be made with the most advanced polymers or the most equisite wood laminates, but at the end of the day, they are still retangular boxes. Just my 2 cents.

I like the "naughty-less". It's wild and crazy. Also like the Eames stuff, but think there was better looking designs of the same period. I had some nice Grundig photos, but can't find them now. =(
For more modern -
How about these:
Or these crazy things?
"Hey, were did I put my speakers?? Oh, there they are..."
These would be pretty outside in the garden - or vinyard.

The big black horny speakers are interesting. Not to mention the shiny aliens just to the left.

Oh yeah! I forgot the O'Heocha. It's on the front of the Hammacher-Schlemmer catalog. Taller than you think!
Thanks Cal.

They remind me of the alien dudes in Fifth Element, but I still like them. I would have put up the Moth Audio ones that look like the Empire State Building, but I can't seem to fire up the site (too slow and my browser times out).
