Ugliest Speakers???

I'm sure most of us would never select a speaker solely on appearance but after sonics it probably would be a criteria, as well as size, weight, color etc.
Looking through the November Stereophile I noticed a new speaker on page 21, the Loiminchay. I'm not sure I could live with this one. It may sound great, I don't know but the appearance of the speaker could never cut it for me, definitely not my style.
What's your take on this one? Any other candidates?

I nominate the Calix Signature Phoenix Grand:

I saw these in person at one of the Stereophile shows, and I think they actually look a lot more bizarre in person.

Hill Plasmatronics (late 1970's)
They looked like old ice boxes from the 1930's!
Still the best midrange and tweeter I've ever heard.

Spica Angelus. Remind me of the nuns that would rap my knuckles with a ruler.

Ugly?! You ain't seen ugly till you seen this bad boy. A close rival might be these deluxe USB tethered speakers. I hear a supertweeter on the HK's makes a world of difference though.
