Why does it matter, at all, what they look like? What they sound like to your tastes is the only thing that should matter.
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. 😱

@jkf011 Thank you for your plain, straight shooting honesty. This is perfectly fine when hiding 'contraptions' like e.g. Eurythmies, either too suggestive of human organs or other unpleasant situations, like say a wake ⚰️ , in a man-cave ⛺. Insisting to install such items in a general living area, can bring about frictions, resentment, stomach cramps (not caused by the more usual monthly occurrences) etc. Unless training oneself to ignore ones surroundings, which will then also include other folk present. There is a psychological element at work in ongoinly ignoring unpleasant impressions. I'm surely not saying anything groundbreakingly new. 🙄 I have a suspicion that the most soothing sounds emanating from such items will be insufficient balm to overcome the negtive vibes 😖.

Do you like the Stilla? https://www.aequoaudio.com/stilla Or Boenicke? https://boenicke-audio.ch/products/loudspeakers/w8/ Or if you triple your budget, these looked spectacular http://www.bayz-audio.eu/ |
the wife and I both love the Vandersteen line. Owned Treo's and now Quatro's. Our's are the painted version in Audi Havana Black (you can chose any color you want). They are stunning and we even put LED 4" drops above them to show off the high metallic finish) The Keto is a similar sized and shaped cabinet. The painted 7's are also stunning to many of us with nice lines. Most speakers to me are strange looking in most rooms. That's why my wife wanted a speaker that could go up against the wall and I needed a speaker that sounded great for the money. We were able to get both with the 11 band bass EQ able to dial in the best bass and the speaker was designed to be put close to the back wall while not being too tall in our room (we have a loft space and the back wall is 48" tall or so). |
