They have that ugly thing -- and it is ugly -- because that's how they can get the center of all those noise makers (upper midrange, tweeter, and supertweeter) almost perfectly coincident. The material has something to do with not resonating, or something.
Of course I was never very serious about this: In the last year I've bought at least a half-dozen different items from Audiogon and essentially all of them have been damaged or in some other way in need of service. When it's a five hundred dollar integrated amp, I can suck it up. If it were fifteen grand on a pair of speakers, I think I'd have to slit my wrists. At the other end of the spectrum, I could buy the Neat Mystiques, the Wharfedale Emerald 97's, *and* the Vandersteen 2ci's, and then keep the Linn Ninkas and the Audio Physic Spark IIII's, to see what I liked about all these different combinations.
Right now, partly on the advice of Kuma, the agenda is to get the AV2 and Nait5i fixed, first, and then install the room treatments, and *then* see if I want or need to do anything differently in terms of speakers.
Still, I love the idea of being "Mr. Speaker," instead of "Mr. Idiot," which is not a million miles from how I feel about all of this right now.
