Ugliest speakers ever known to mankind.

[Cal Weldon]

feminine speakers.

Not only feminine, but pregnant.

Those are indeed pretty bad...

What about an ugly car and ugly speaker combo?

Keep it away from the walls and it will be fine.

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like something Jeremy Clarkson would drive on a Top Gear special?

So.... I was thinking, if I stuck this on the cone of my speaker, would you think it's ugly? I was wondering how abalone shell composite would do as part of a speaker cone

Or alternatively on the front if the baffle...

> abalone shell composite would do as part of a speaker cone

Early accordion amplifiers used a "mother of pearl" finish, taken from the kitchen chairs I grew up on.

 

[KaffiMann]

Oon, thanks for the idea.
I was thinking it would be really cool to make an inset logo in the wood where the writing was with that composite.
Would think covering the whole front baffle with that stuff might be a little bit "much", think this is one of the areas where "Less is more". Small details and such = Thumbsup!

I do not get it. It's a beautiful speaker.

Can you please post speakers you built?

Not so extravagants.

 

[Fonebones]

That's easy to look at, for my eyes. The carpet is nice too. Only the mattress on stands takes some time to get used to 😉

 

[Fast Eddie D]

That car is so beautiful.

Cop suspension, cop engine, cop brakes, cop tires, what's not to love? 😉

I've actually seen that car cruising around Chicago, big horn and all. It's stored somewhere on the Near West Side of Chicago, a few blocks west of Halsted. I forget which street, but I think it's Madison. They park it outside during the day while they're working in the shop.

The woman in question has just strolled out of her favorite place in Monaco towards her parked car...

And some adept at 3D modelling turned her into a speaker! "Sins" indeed!

Usually, I like Avalon speakers. But with the tesseract, they gained an entry in this thread.

Is this THE car or the Blues brothers movie ? Or a copy made by adepts.

they look decent
but the b&w nautilus looks better 🙂

 

[adason]

how about these?

 

[RJM1]

Until I saw this thread I thought that the Beveridge electrostatic speakers that look like 6' coffins standing up and opening were the ugliest.

I don't know if there's more than one car. It looks pretty authentic. It wouldn't be hard to copy either.

The movie was filmed here. The iconic chase scenes under the El were filmed about a mile away from where I saw the car. And it's been on TV a few times too, including in an advertisement.

I didn't see John Belushi driving it. 😛 It was probably about ten years ago that I saw it parked at a nondescript shop, many times over the course of months.

Here's what I'd really like to see live in person.
