This has got to be the sexiest 210 bass cab I have ever seen. If I wouldn't be a poor student I would already be playing one of these 
Haven't heard them myself yet, but it seems that they pump out serious lows.

Ugly - Hartke, MarkBass (orange drivers?!!! really?!!!), Behringer
Personally, I think the birch Bag Ends are sweet
Also, the tweed Peavey classic cabs, like the 8x10...
Even though I'm not fond of carpeting, the Aguilar GS112 is a hot little number...
And in general, silver grilles look great to me...

Plus, I'm a little on the fence about Ashdown cabs... I think, in general, their heads look great, but the cabs take the whole retro look a couple of steps too far. I like clean lines and simple but interesting color match-ups rather than busy designs...
+1 on Ampeg cabs ('60's - 70's) especially the various Portaflexes...blue checker Tolex is rad, and the SVT is a classic look with the blue/silver grill...
Definitely Epifani and newer Bergies are among the best looking cabs out there.
Didn't like the original Bergie look with the heavy grill covers they had, so at least for me, they went from being ugly to one of the best.

silver grill, as in the older bergs?
we seem to have the same taste in cabs. nice selection.
Hartke = Ugly
Peavey Tour Series = Ugly (although I do like them)
Ampeg Pro Series Cabs look awful (PR410HLF)
EBS looks cool.
I like the looks of a lot of Genz-Benz stuff too.
Ampeg Classic Lines. SVT, Bass Amp, etc look nice.

I must be in a minority in this thread, I think Hartke cabs look cool with the ali drivers and Markbass with the yellow coned speakers. Most of the rest all just LOOK like black boxes (although that doesn't stop me from wanting to own many of them).
Those look great for any gig where bingo is a feature of the evening.The 0x said:Link Removed
As well as Hiwatt cabs:
I win.
I have to say that the cab on the right on this picture is the most beautiful i've ever seen..
only a few were made.. and i'm sooo jelaous..

Great minds think alike... silver grills as in older bergs, newer mesa boogie powerhouses, the SWR series III cabs look pretty good. I just think it's a cool design choice. That said, I'm not a huge fan of SWR cabs or Mesa Powerhouse stuff, but this is based on looks alone.
I like that Hiwatt cab, too... and the Sunns look nice.
I love my markbass 210, but I think it is the UGLIEST piece of hammered dog **** I have ever seen! I love the old sunns, ampegs, kustoms, orange, and any other classic vintage looking piece.
