I think they look great in a 'nouveau retro' sort of way. Proper traditional Tannoy look about them!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Not hifi I know , I bought this torch on Ebay the other day and it's very good VFM indeed .
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3000Lm-XM-...8AAOSwSdZWc3X4
It comes in it's own plastic box . Also included is 2 rechargeable Li-on batteries and a little cradle which holds 3 AAA batteries . It also comes with a mains box for the Li-on batteries .
Also included are a wallwart charger and a car charger . Both chargers can also be plugged in to the torch directly for charging on the go .
The body of the torch is quite robust aluminium and it's claimed to be water resistant . The beam can be adjusted and the torch has 5 different settings . On the highest setting the light this thing gives off is excellent . I'm not an expert in these things , however this torch would certainly give me all the light needed in most situations . Good VFM methinks .

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

The cork fascia tiling makes for a good dartboard surround. All you need do is cover the driver with a board and off you go...Hideous? You have no taste, daftee. That be 'cool 1960s retro/studio chic'!

Seriously? Grilles on? Vile. Grills off - not actually too bad.
