Not so sure what you suggest is quite so.
I'm here out of competition, but there'll be gaplenty more beautiful, attractive I'd prefer, females to behold than stereo speakers. I beg you! 🙈 😏
In fact I had already a go at this on the web, based on the 'freaking' results, I than actually gave the forum a try.
High end is pretty much a male endeavour, and so is the design of practically most of the hardware.
It is my learned contention, that with very few exceptions, aesthetic considerations, in particular with speakers, is not a primary consideration in this here hobby. Finely polished wood veneers alone does not make a beautiful design. 0
You welcome to disagree of course. 🙏
I've been at audio shows too, and looking at a lot of the items, they in no way passing in terms of WAF. My take, um. 😏
A lot might qualify as industrial barock when trying to do something more than just boxes, functional boxes yes, some very highly functional, but hardly aesthetically pleasing.
Thanks again for sharing your suggestions, I do appreciate the attention to all the detail.
Thank you,
