What makes something "beautiful" - its a hard question?

Has anyone any comments on:

Marten Coletrane 2

Kharma Exquisite, Classic

(honorable mention, cosmetically:)

particularly the sound. Are they at the range sonically of the Magico Q or M series? (Q5/M5?)

       beautiful, as cosmetic entails, is truly subjective, buddy. However, beautiful, as in sound, is also subjective (LOL)... Seriously, cosmetic tastes aside,
        these speakers are significantly warmer in presentation than Magico's house sound. And when you factor-in the new berrylium tweeter, that's a whole new frontier in upper treble clarity. The Magico sound is really different from the Norm. If its your cup of tea, you'll have a thrill ride... Me, my cup of tea requires a little more mid-bass hump... not as much as Wilson, but certainly more like Andy paynors sound.  However, from your palette of speakers above, i'd have to confess that VIVID is what might be your cup-of-tea... The Vivid's, are really tugging at my soul... given your tastes above, i'd say give them a listen if you really gonna plunk some change. Best.
