This came in my morning email dump. Has anyone seen an uglier speaker for 30k? Or 20? Or 10?…
(BTW the list is USD45k, but who’s counting?)
I love the classic wooden box Tannoy look (having the Kensingtons myself), but where did they go off the rails? Seriously.
Hmmm.
I do like the old Tannoys - but that’s a bit rubbish - looks like a portable air-conditioner or a dehumidifier (dependent on where in the world one is) 
I had similar thoughts when I saw that on Upscale’s website a couple days ago. Looks like they decided to resurrect the styling cues from 1970’s Kustom guitar amplifiers in a more upscale manner.
Or as @joma0711 pointed out, an upscale dehumidifier.
To make his worse. That’s not for the pair but priced or each! So ~$60k for the pair ~$90k list). And NOW I’m counting!!!
OMG. I didn’t read the details after marveling at the singular ugliness.
Yeah 90k total is 90k too high
Given my hearing probably drops off above 15kHz they should do a super-tweeter-less version for cheaper 
96 dB/W sensitivity and 1,200 W peak-power handling.
Might come in handy for crowd control or pealing paint.
Hope it doesn’t make the same sound.
Put a blue, five gallon water bottle on top to complete the look. A blue and a white spigot on the front.
Brilliant!
I think they look OK without the covers…prefer their wood finishes though…
FWIW.
The taste is different and I can say that my taste is so that I don’t think that I’m ever gonna buy a one colored main speaker since I want wood finish no matter the cost.
Nah, it’s gorgeous in a sci-fi black behemoth kind of way! I bet up close the finish is sumptuous and the sound is amazeballs.
I have heard that the Daleks love these speakers
True dat.
I can hear in the distance
EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!
I am with you. This speaker looked gorgeous in the flesh and sounded amazing. It beat many speakers out there including the Wilson Audio Alexia. It presented a huge sound stage rich with tonal colour & very musical. I had the same negative initial impression like many here until I heard & saw it in real, that changed everything.
