Anyone fancy these for xmas?

Go on, how much?

Only 23k...

They are rather lovely. The bit on the right would look nice with some flowers in the top. 

I just googled them to get an idea how big they are. They're bloody huge. 

Apparently they come in a number of different colours,  maybe a bunch of yellow daffodils would work well.

Not sure if they need to be close to a wall? Or thrown over a wall? 

Proudly designed and made in Poland

I'm very surprised but SWMBO really likes them...

I've seen worse

Apparently they were one of the stars at the recent Warsaw Audio Show. Powered by some exotic Polish-made tube amps.
Another start was a Statement running into........ wait for it.... wait..... Monitor Audio Platinum II 500

Missed the show this year - business trip to China.

They would be right at home on the Eastern Island

-500 WAF on those white ones...can be brought down to -499 with the aforementioned daffodils...

Apparently it's the second biggest audio show in Europe, after the Munich one. That was a surprise....

It is so large nowadays, they had to run in 3 hotels and the National Stadium this year.

Jardis Eurythmie II, I don't think they're available any more.

I'm sure I saw them in an episode of Dr who?  The Daleks took care of them...

just wanting to canvas opinion on these beauties, apparently the reviews are extremely good.

They are Horns Universum mk111.

I'm not hating them. In the right, large, very contemporary room, they'd look great. A kind of functional statue. They have pleasing proportions and an elegant simplicity to my eye, but I get that a lot of people wouldn't like them. I see reproduction architecture and furniture everywhere I look, so understand that people often have an aversion to functional and modern style. A lot of people mistakenly think "ornate or fancy" = "classy" = "quality".

Hi-fi horn speakers have a limited but vibrant boutique market. Craftsmanship, artistry, and specific tuning to the fore. Tube amps, active crossovers, DIY components, and a strong emphasis on system and room matching. I think they look exquisite for their market and would love to hear them, but I can't see where or why a Naim user would have any practical interest them.

Stuff a flower in them seems entirely ignorant. Has anyone here actually heard these? As you say, reviews are extremely good.
