OLD SCHOOL SPEAKERS MEETS HIFI OPULENCE

The most striking example we’ve found: Avantgarde Acoustic’s Trio Classico—a 5-foot-tall assemblage of injection-molded horns and German-engineered audiophile geekery. Each made-to-order unit blends the benefits of old-school horn design—efficiency, range, nuance. It’s like a live concert in a Henry Moore sculpture.

SHAPED LIKE EARS

Avantgarde has designed an expensive set of speakers called Trio Classico that are modeled in part after a pair of human ears. The speakers are about 5 feet tall and in my opinion look much better from the top angle than straight on. So maybe if you’re really tall or have mirrored ceilings, these would look good in your abode.
