What would it be? I'd say - instead of building great furniture that also happens to sound good give us great sounding speakers that also happen to be acceptable furniture.
Designers are already building what the market wants. Small,easy to house,sell,ship,make profits off Chinese manufactured bookshelf or tower designs all near identical to one another. Sure a few options exist outside of this but the majority are like I mentioned more similar in design to toasters than art. Audiophiles are so used to this appearance and similarity of design that anything to far outside of the norm will not get much market traction. Its just the way humanity rolls we crave the familiar change is scary. Most all buyers want 2-2.5 way designs mostly with dome and 6 inch woofer or woofers in wood veneer cabinets some may go AMT or ribbon tweeters.
...close your eyes, sit back and enjoy Vandersteen speakers....then open your eyes and feast on the perfect build and finish of them (I have 5A's with their Kowazinga finish.. I had a furniture repair person come to refinish an end table....walked to the speakers and remarked how beautiful they are)
