@DSkip..
These Swan speakers remind you of anything
They look like the BE10's with just different baffle (and obviously driver arrangement and internals) on them

There's a lot of not-original thinking in loudspeaker design (at least at the level of aesthetics). That's why, I reckon, we had a couple of decades' worth of utterly bland and interchangeable tower speakers. Then Wilson Audio came along and speakers started to look like Daleks.

Wilson speaker prototypes.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

I realize that de gustibus non est disputandum, but I'm just not a big fan of mean looking loudspeakers.

Fugly! -
Me either. Although I know the Wilson line of speakers sound amazing, they have to be some of the ugliest ever made. And I’m sorry when we’re putting speakers in the homes, they need to look like nice pieces of furniture IMO
-
I'm not too crazy about the way they sound, either (and FWIW).

Notice in that picture the woman has passed the speakers by and the man just had to stop and play with the knobs. I'm sure she's giving him "the look".

In the 1970s, it was different.

Musta been the speakers.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I could see them as the younger couple or friends together then.
And I can picture the older woman saying, you have too many speakers now, come on, let's go.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

I have a pair.
And their brothers the Qb's.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Why do you need two courgette spiralizer and slicer tools? -
heh.
heh.

That, my friend, is a fully operational battle tweeter, umm, I mean -- super tweeter.
Or as they call it, a "high frequency tweeter". Beats them low frequency tweeters all to heck, I can tell you that.
Made by Pioneer and sold by Lafayette Radio Electronics (LRE) in the early 1960s.
With acoustic diffuser.
