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. 😱

Hm, interesting at least now I have to acknowledge some here creativity, though looking at the image I'm having two comments : If the front looks like the sides and back? Is it the front?! Odd, kind of idea but interesting. Yes!
Secondly, that ET 👽 tweeter item on top... kind of delicately beautiful like some kind of Meißen piece porcelain creation. 
Though if my cleaner here gets even near to it, I'd get MAJOR paranoid, oh for bloody sure I would.
As for sound... I imagine it will sound as amazingly beautiful as that designer had in his strive for sound perfection.
Looks like they/he/she ticked all the boxes at first glance, yes? 👋 💫 ✨ 

Kudos for bringing it up, will need to look some more into this one. 

Any idea of $$$$... 😉 ? 🤔 🤑🤩

Dude, you need to start your posting prior to the 4th double whatever.

Euro sexy - Sonus Faber, Focal.
American Iron- Salk, Klipsch
British Proper- Spendor- Classic line.
Scandy's best-Borresen Clean Scan lines and the best sound 

Most of the others brands are boring, rehashes or simply outright
ugly.


I have had my Apogee Duetta signature since 1991 and have been amazing for the audio room I have . I know they may not last much longer and I may to look for a new  speakers.  Used to like the old Revel Salon  then but for my next speaker upgrade  I am going for a smaller speaker on a stand and it will be a pair of Magico. You ought to listen to them.
Ok, panels as well as dipoles need more front wall space, I mentioned that already.
Never mind what the 'dude' thinks pre 4th double (what ever the heck that may be 🏖 ?) about some - beautiful - wooden frame work. Right. 
Stand mounts... Hum...
Number one: too little  volume for bass - and am not really convinced of 6" bass drivers, never mind one only.
Now I have heard some great imaging shelf speakers on stand mounts, maybe one option for chamber music and jazz ensembles if it was my main interest, alas, it's not. I like anythink from Mahler, to Mozart, to Men at Work, and even some! Metallica. 😅

The other thing, also due to my set-up limitations, is the need to pass regularly in back of the speakers, stumbling about the cable, and the maid cleaning would be kind of dangerous I'm sure.
Unless all be screwed and nailed down to the floor 🤣. 
At times I did think a out this idea, but it's not workable. Unfortunately, and also because of the bass limitations, as yet again, I also can't really move  them closer to the front wall, to get some more bass boost. 
Looking at my posted system will make that pretty clear. 

I'm quite taken by all those positive responses to my ponderings. Thanks, and mille grazie!

You can get them in any color automotive finish, or any type of wood dyed any color you want... 

What more could you want?  They have your ribbon tweeters as well.
