The 3rd model are Vandersteens. They are clad in a fabric sock. Each driver is placed so it's 'time-aligned' and gets its own sealed enclosure.

Carefully-stacked boxes, but yeah.  My uncle in El Segundo has a pair.

He does? I never really noticed a pair of speakers in that house. Must be hidden under piles of something.

The only sexy one to my eyes were the off-white clad Maggies. But I would really like to hear one of those 96db efficient Legacy Whispers (2nd & 3rd picture)with my tube amp.
kcarlile & pmbuko: I thought Vandys did not have full box enclosures? I thought it was only partial boxes and some of the boxes were open to the back. Why did they enclose it? I think it would look rather nice without the bulky looking frame with mesh.
