Horn speakers can be gussied up too apparently. I had no idea things were getting so fancy. My Zenith speakers were just huge blocks. I don't think aesthetics were factored in much back then or maybe I just didn't know any better. Some of the arty speakers look DIYable, but I'm not skilled enough to tackle something like that.
Pi Speakers look good. Some of Salk's stuff looks good. Just about any decent speaker looks better than what we used to have to choose from. Craftsmanship and aesthetics seem to matter more now.
