RE: Best looking speakers on the market

I've two, both standmounts, which stood out for me in recent years.  The first is the rather smart and bold design of the Acoustic Energy AE22 Active, which is very eyecatching:-

 

 

The other speaker is Tannoy's DC4 - a tiny little thing, but an object of loveliness if ever there was one.  Saw this in the Home Cinema Centre some time ago and thought they were a perfect blend between a modern speaker and something that looks good in the home:-
