The Yamaha NS5000 has a piano like finish. Rather beautiful though the driver and retro box appearance may not be for everyone. It is also an extremely good sounding speaker.

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. 😱

Ok, just to mention, if good speakers 'vanish' once you 'switch them on' - mine certainly do. So they still seem 'good speakers' eh? Even after 25 odd years. Interesting to learn. 😇 As for finishes. The older I get the less I'm into wood finish. I mentioned coffins... ⚰ I care for all suggestions mentioned, and been doing a lot of looking up of images on the web. Numerous mentioned I'm familiar with, of sorts already, like e.g. Monitor Audio and that Ape named item, Orangutan et all. Some could do from a sound point of review, ok, but looks... not really. Then there is JVC with compression horn tweeters - give a girl a break! as for their looks. Darth Vader? SCARY! 🙈 And talking of horns, — OMG! Talk about weird contraptions in your living room. Puleeze! Can put your bicycle next to it, and your Harley Knuckle-Head if you think. Don't forget to take care of any oil leaks though. 🙄😱 One more thing to mention, talking of tweeters! I'm not much of a fan of dome tweeters, neither silk, nor beryllium, or alu, perhaps diamond, yeah and why not. 💍 👍 😃 But ribbon, or a TOTL AMT kind, that will ring a 🛎 with me. 😊 This might now serve the request of narrowing things down a bit, eh? And thanks a stack, yet again! 😘 Michélle 🇿🇦 |
