How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present

@jkf011
Thank you for your plain, straight shooting honesty. 
This is perfectly fine when hiding 'contraptions' like e.g. Eurythmies, either too suggestive of human organs or other unpleasant situations, like say a wake ⚰️ , in a man-cave ⛺. 

Insisting to install such items in a general living area, can bring about frictions, resentment, stomach cramps (not caused by the more usual monthly occurrences) etc. 

Unless training oneself to ignore ones surroundings, which will then also include other folk present.
There is a psychological element at work in ongoinly ignoring unpleasant impressions. I'm surely not saying anything groundbreakingly new. 🙄

I have a suspicion that the most soothing sounds emanating from such items will be insufficient balm to overcome the negtive vibes 😖. 
Food for thought 💭

the wife and I both love the Vandersteen line.  

Owned Treo's and now Quatro's.  Our's are the painted version in Audi Havana Black (you can chose any color you want).  They are stunning and we even put LED 4" drops above them to show off the high metallic finish)

The Keto is a similar sized and shaped cabinet.  The painted 7's are also stunning to many of us with nice lines.

Most speakers to me are strange looking in most rooms.  That's why my wife wanted a speaker that could go up against the wall and I needed a speaker that sounded great for the money.  We were able to get both with the 11 band bass EQ able to dial in the best bass and the speaker was designed to be put close to the back wall while not being too tall in our room (we have a loft space and the back wall is 48" tall or so).  

Just had my response dumped again. 
Fed-up to redo. Sorry. Low battery to boot.

Ok, take two, @headphonedreams 
Those Bøneke speakers have something, maybe that less US balls-to-the-walls, more understated design approach?
Yeah I'm sure. 
They're 'integratable' into a living space with less intrusive presentation, in my take. 

Why do I now think I've seen this all before? 🤔 
Audio Physic's various midrange designs e.g. AVANTI and such, I'd seen and heard some a few year ago. In a living room environment. 

Did I like then what I heard? 🤔 

Not quite, not really, so why?
Most delicately detailed, bordering on the analytical - a general tendency of German and more North-European offerings,yet again. 

Being hooked up to a Lyngdorf amp (class D ?!?) plus Roomperfect® (digital room correction) using an Electrocompaniet CDP didn't help the presentation in my mind either. 

So now what will those Bøneke sound like?! 😉 
After all, acceptable looks is one thing, if the sound is too sterile we have still the wrong mix. Just to make sure. 

In closing, now to be extra picky, these cabinets, as also those Audio Physiks, are at least by ¼—⅓ to narrow and subsequently a bit to deep, to then achieve the correct volume.
This idea is a slight over-exaggeration about maximum reduced baffel width, in order to make the cabinets audibly vanish. 
Slightly wider would look more 'right' IMO, but then chamfering or rounding off the front panels/baffels.

Just sharing, as like nothing is perfect, eh?
