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. 😱

Research on the topic "Influence of Visual Appearance on Loudspeaker Sound Quality Evaluation": https://www.researchgate.net/publication/282774936_Influence_of_Visual_Appearance_on_Loudspeaker_Sound Quality Evaluation. This appeared in the October 2015 edition of the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society. You can find it at the link above, although it's not easy to access. While I haven't read it, my answer to "nice looking floorstander" in this context is Heinz Green Ketchup. It tasted the same as red ketchup, but I tried it and hated it. Sometimes your eyes, brain and in the case of loudspeakers, your ears, have to agree, whether it's about speakers or anything else. Otherwise, good looking means nothing. |
@eisen0169, so if you have speakers that look plain and still sound good then you’re good to go 👍. Also, many of us close our eyes while listening to music; another great way to focus in on what you are hearing, not seeing! interestingly, I was in contact with a man yesterday and today who was going to back out of a speaker purchase and settle for a speaker that he admittedly didn’t think sounded as good because he thought it looked better. When his wife saw him boxing up the better sounding speakers she put a stop to it and said the speakers weren’t going anywhere. |
A lot of the usual suspects bantered about... Being very particular to both aesthetics and performance, I am very happy with my pair of Marten Bird 2. https://www.marten.se/products/heritage/heritage-bird-2/ |
