Here is my all-time favorite for looks and sound: the MBL 101D

Amati Homage: The most beautiful speakers I have ever seen.
(My first runner up is the Lumen white: http://www.acousticdreams.net/lumenw...ermainpage.htm
You must see them in person to appreciate their magnificence.)
I agree with Dzung: The MBL's are like a work of art.
Revel Studio and Salon: As stated above, they look like robots. (Though the Wilson WAMM takes the cake in this category.)
Nautilus 800, 801, and 802: Good performance, but a bowling ball on top of a cabinet is not my idea of beauty.
Norh: Different, but not exactly great looking.
Just my 2 cents...

I sure don't understand how anyone can like the look of Norh. I personally think they are the ugliest things I have ever seen.

But that's just my personal preference. Although the finish is nice.

I think I'll give a vote to the Hales Trandescence(?)III. I like how they lean back in a cool kinda way. They sound great too and not a bad value either. Of course I have to give an honorable mention to the Def Tech tower line (BP3000, 2000, BP30 ect...) :)

Bt the way folks, this is supposed to be about the best looking speakers, not one's personal best-bang-for-the-buck speaker.

The Norh's have to be seen in person to truly appreciate their beauty...THAT is what I call a work of art...but hey, I guess it's a love 'em or hate 'em type of deal. Hell, I even think their Prism line looks better than anything I've seen posted here...

The most beautiful speakers I've ever seen with my own eyes were the original $30K/pair Nautilis speakers from B&W.

I really like the Swan Diva's (pictured in Henry Carmona's post) above. You really can't get a better looking speaker in that price range. That metal formation on top gives them a kind of nautical look.
OTOH, here are the ugliest speakers I have ever seen. I saw these in person at a local Wilson dealer (they look much worse in person):

Why someone would pay $80,000 to put these in their home is beyond me.

Tyler's certainly are sexy, but let's not forget everyone's favorite:

ok. time to shut it down. but before we go, i think the mirage om speakers are perty. but nothing beats the craftsmanship and beauty of the nautilus.

I'm not a big fan of the 6.1 pictures on AV123's site, so...
