Ugliest speaker ever?

I've been following the thread seeking nominations for the "coolest speaker ever", and I can think of a few speakers that merit such a distinction. While we're at it, however, let's list some of the ugliest speakers ever designed. I can think of a few recent ones, such as the Avantgarde horn speakers (Uno, Duo, etc.), and the Calix Technology Phoenix Signature (see page 58 of the May issue of Stereophile for a photo). Other nominees?

Sd,

I' second your nominaiton of the Calix: the cabinet work looks great in the picture (as does the wood), but the shape and those cages...

While I'd love to hear a pair, my wife would never let me bring a pair of MBL 101Ds into the house.

Finally, I'd like to say that one time I saw a pair of Apogee Stages in taupe. I was so paranoid about having that terrible color in my house that I made the used equipment dealer who sold me mine send me pictures to prove that anthracite was gray, not brown.
