Ugliest speakers ever known to mankind.

I would not want it even if you give m a million to install it in my house... It hurts on my eyes everytime i need to look at it. I don't even know how much they costs...

I would, if somebody offered me a million bucks. But nobody is offering.

Just when you tought it could not be uglier, this is the Audiovisual Art Minotaur that passed in a FB ad in my feed...

It depends on the context. It would a perfect fit for the Emperor's palace on planet Kaitain in Dune.

Ostentatious >> ugly. Looks custom tailored for clientele with a need to demonstrate expenditure.

 

[billshurv]

as is much hi-end gear.



Never sure where the Yamamura horns sit on the fugly scale. I just think of triffids when I see them.

Hi,


I think that uglyness is involved by design, not by technical functional issues, therefore the Be Yamamura horns deem acceptable, if not especially nice and cute to me. His smaller boxes for his fullrange drivers are quite nice, and his drivers are very special, too.
That is, sadly, all history.

I´d like to include examples for design decisions I don´t fully understand...


All the best

I worry how they got the peacock to stay still...

 

[Evenharmonics]

That's easy nowadays. Digital imaging.

 

[billshurv]

I'd been assuming stuffed.

 

[Evenharmonics]

Yeah, back in the "old" days.

I bet the thing on the shelf below the amp bakes a loaf of bread also -

 

[lcsaszar]

The sofa seems to have better stand than the speakers.

 

[scottjoplin]

It's also perfectly positioned

It's a power supply. Given the vent slots, it may bake bread.

 

[Evenharmonics]

I thought those look familiar.

No doubt you'll notice the graphic "heatwaves" on the top...I didn't know actual waves of thermal radiation appear as wavy vertical lines? This is exactly what's wrong with these "art" attempts...no, heat doesn't "look" like that...maybe in cartoons.
What other phenomenon has a collectively "agreed upon" shape, color or texture?...which is far far from the actual appearance?
I'll start first...the deafening roar of spacecraft in the vacuum of space.

You can if you are close enough to the source, given that it's a conventional rocket boost.

 

[Richard Ellis]

You could only hear a spacecraft in the vacuum of space if you were directly behind the craft in the cone of hot expansion exhaust gasses, or, if one was inside the pressurized craft in question. Sound needs a mass of gasses as a medium to transmit sound.

Those must have flat fr response, just like her chest...cute.

Those will scare young children, I bet, and the wife as well, for different reasons.

 

[jjasniew]

>Those will scare young children, I bet,

With no grills over the woofers, young children will scare the speaker - and considering the price tag, their owner too!

"No! Please! I know it infinitely tempting, but dont you touch my - eeeyyyaaahhh!"

"Now, how am I going to get this to pop back out..."
