Who design those things ... and why do they think it looks nice? It looks like a vase or air freshener.

Hmm... really? That’s a big claim with no evidence to show.

I'm sure they sound nice (for the money they better) but I agree, they look a lot like something you'd find in a toilet, gold grill or not....

Maybe they also fragrance the room every hour?

That's the first thing that came to my mind, has a definite air freshener vibe.
It's genuinely hideous,can't imagine what would posses someone to spend 3k on something like that, but then again I don't know anyone who would buy AV equipment from Harrods, so I guess it's not aimed at the likes of me.

I was in the Linn factory today and heard one of these. It sounded very good, much bigger sound than it looks capable of. I think the fact that it looks like a vase may be deliberate. Seems that some folks don't want big, square boxes in their kitchens and living rooms.

Me, I like a box. "Organic" styling is fine for living things (and cars, for some reason) . When applied to AV equipment or houses it just looks naff, in my opinion. But then, I'm not the demographic its aimed at so who cares what I think?
