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, got any life experiences to share - in terms of emoji help? 🤔 😣 

Can always consider eating loads of chocolate (Lindt PLEASE!) to create sufficient constipation to keep them emotions all in. 
Not to sure of the health benefits though? 

No idea how you'd do it ?!?

BTW, blogs like this one here, ARE after all are social media - not... academic theses postings for peer reviews.
Ever, at all, noticed there's a minor difference here? At all? 
😘 

Never knew emojis use was a 'Baby Boomer' thing, must be caused by post-ware trauma maybe?

Gotta Google now for 'Psychology of Emoji usage'. 
More food for 💭 hum. 
Michélle... 

PS: Castel(s) in the sky equipped with "Biegewellenwandler" interesting idea, might even improve on life Aeolian harp 'Frohlocken' performance. 😇 LOL.

As others have mentioned, Salk Sound has a large collection of custom built "classic" looking speakers. I've been very happy with my Songtowers. Currently looking at the Song 3 Encores.

It’s interesting comparing what audiophiles think is acceptable or even “nice” looking to my wife’s opinion - pretty much everything mentioned in this thread gets a “HELL NO” from her. 😂 An exception is Audiovector - she said “this is ok” and I even convinced her to let me put a pair of the big SR 6 ($25k) in our living room. The SR 3 ($10k) is much more compact and even more manageable in terms of WAF. Boenicke is another one that a dealer told me is one of the few he can get spouses to accept, though my wife wasn’t crazy about it. Some Sonus Faber is ok too though too Italian bling for her tastes. Pretty much everything else gets labeled “coffins,” “ugly boxes,” “killer robots” or “DEAR GOD who came up with that” from her.
