+1 on the AZ Crescendos. Beautifully finished.
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. 😱

Tablejockey has the right idea. I think to most women the Sonus Faber speakers will win that battle as they look more like fine furniture. They are also a fine sounding loudspeaker. A note to all you young unmarried audiophiles out there. Get the biggest, ugliest speakers you can afford. If they marry you with those monstrosities you are in business. When I met my wife I had Magnepan Tympani's, perfect. Anything looks better than Tympani's. She'll have no problem swallowing Sound Labs 845's:) |
If the S.O. gives the nod to let you put these in the house, you have a keeper https://ucarecdn.audiogon.com/24cd5c3a-681e-42fc-a29c-47d13f96da5a/-/scale_crop/840x630/center/-/quality/lightest/ You don't even need to have the stereo on...just stare at them. |
Ehhhh, appart from SF which looks ok, it does, but has multiple front firing small bass drivers and weird slot port along the back. Bass sucks in my place, had one for very short while to test. Plus the other weird ultra wide item, not made any more, and just like one fat panel with fancy woodwork - all other suggestions are un-attractive, not to say more. Some look more homely than what not... so far proving my point it seems. 😒 If your female companions had a relative comparable presentation what'd you say?! 🤔 Wouldn't give that one not another look, right? 🙄😕 Even if she could sing like an 😇 and be very sweet 🥰 otherwise. Humph. 🤯 Honestly, some of them look like polished up homemade coffins, as I said. 😢😓 Michélle 🇿🇦 |
