    Topping, for having random aesthetic, which is worse than actually having one.

    Agree, but I suspect they know exactly what they're doing. The fancy-ugly aesthetic sets them apart, and then "beauty" naturally grows in the eye of the beholder who just happened to drop a lot of money for their stuff.

    @spwath no clue, just threw that up cuz I gave up searching for another speaker thing built into a mannequin with... curves. Odd I couldn't find it.

    And yup, Kim Kardashian vibes off the Siren.

    All of their shit looks like a cross between a 2001 iMac and a peyote tripper's vision of what a UFO control console would look like. Ugly as hell but I actually kind of love it.

    Maybe it's from working at yg acoustics last summer but that really doesn't sound too bad

    That's around where I expected honestly. Machined from a big block of aluminum like that...
    I mean the top priced speakers at yg were like 250k I think

    Haven't even thought about Chord for ages. Checked out their website. Yes... still ugly. Reflect on the cost of those cases, and how much less of one's money is going on electronics. But audiophools think stuff like that sounds better!
