Cadence Avita (HifiChoice April 2015)

35kg's of speaker, mating an electrostatic tweeter to a great looking bass/mid driver and cabinet (imho).

Not expensive in the greater scheme of things either ...

I'm with you ther I always liked the look of their bigger brothers the Arca.

Is that some sort of recliner? Whatever I'll never manage to shoehorn it into my living space.

Not without moving the concert grand you understand

No. This is horny.

Nah! Don't fancy those wooden butterflies much. Nice bit of carpentry though.

Do you guys prefer speakers looking like furniture or looking like art, in money-no-object situation?

Good design is always a good thing, but for me form should also follow function, even if money is no object. Which is why I'm not entirely sold on the butterflies. YMMV.

How can you tell their structure serves no function and are simply mimicking butterflies?

I like speakers that look like speakers. Preferably smallish wood veneered floorstanders.

The 'wings' look like the may be a sort of horn/wave guide type thing.

I didn't say that. The structure may serve some function, but I find it hard to believe that the function really dictates that exact butterfly shape. I'd prefer a more abstract design, something that didn't remind me of effing butterflies.

A suprised mouth saying "Oooh". *angel*

My Alienware laptop does colours as well. Just a keyboard with lights.

Nothing in particular. It isn't representational.

EDIT: I did first post a rude answer.
