Good looking Towers for < $2000?

Going to upgrade from my Paradigm Studio-20 V5s.  These are on stands. 
I've decided to go with towers this time.  I don't like stands that much.
Anyway, for living room 2ch music.  WAF and attractiveness are important for the living room.
Not looking for black rectangular boxes.
I tend to like moderate/soft levels.   Jazz, folk, classical, new age, some rock.

I am also looking for a bit more bass than the Studio 20s give me (54Hz low-freq).

Salk looks nice and gets great reviews (SongBirds, SongTowers).

How are PSB?   Any other good suggestions?

Thx,
Rob

Dynaudio has many towers at various price levels. Great sound even at the lowest end. Check them out if you have a dealer nearby.
Good luck

If you like the Paradigm's sound but just looking for more bass.... get floor standing verion of the Studio 20s. Studio 60 or 100. They just discontinued them and you should be able to find a new or demo at a really good price. Paradigm is blowing out their 20's and 10's on eBay. I've owned them. They look beautiful. Sound good too. I had to get rid of mine (towers/home theater) but still use the Studio 10 in stereo. Waiting/hoping tje signature follows suit. S2's baby !

Listened to some B&W towers today and was underwhelmed.  I felt my Studio-20s had far better midrange and clarity.
Looking to demo some Paradigm towers now.

The Paradigm towers won't let you down. Acoustic Zen Adagios or Triangle Antals are also beautiful and bass-y.

As are Trenner and Friedl if you can afford them.
