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

Hi, 
Sometimes when I dream, imagining of replacing my current 1997 Burmester 961 speakers, before maybe COVID19 is sending me to an early grave - I'm practically only stumbling on ugly often even like somehow crippled looking speaker creations.
Test will say, sounding fantastically gorgeous and - looking like 💩. 
This, or par tout looking like some or other children's coffin ⚰. 😥👻

Not for the life of it, can I imagine ever having some such 'creation' invading my daily living space. Ever.

Talking 'bout a BAD WAF situation, I say.

Some makers are trying to improve on this tragic situation with creations looking far too anatomical or something alien👾 fruit thing hanging off a tree... handle an' all. 

Is there no hope out there at all...? 🤔

So can one savely move on forgetting about a replacement, still in this here life, and saving the money 💰 ?

Well, the budget <= max 20k $ lets say, so I won't risk starving before the lockdown will end ever. 😱 

😘 M. 🇿🇦

Scaena Loudspeakers are elegant speaker art.  Specific colors can be special ordered to match decors or for any personal preference 

They take up very little physical space, yet throw an enormous sound stage

How about making your posts (since you’ve been doing the same there), demonstratively evident in your Opening Post above,... "Nice Looking" [read less Ugly] akin to the speakers you desire... by demonstrating impulse control with the emojis?

Not sure what you consider to be nice-looking.  Would a pair of fabric-covered room dividers suit your taste?  Maggies would fill the bill there.

My solution was Acoustic Zen Crescendo II, pre-owned.  Beautiful in rosewood.  My wife exclaimed "OHHH, they're like furniture!" when I unboxed them.  8 - 9 k$

There are more pretty ones these days than ugly ones. Excellent sound is more the issue, and occasionally, but not often, some that sound very good are ungainly, or not beautiful as far as most women or non-audiophiles are concerned. Other than that, I don't know what you're getting at. There's a "sound" for everyone out there. Pick one, and then get  that type of sound in a pretty wrapper.
