How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present

@jnovak I play the violin - studied in conservatory but decided I wanted to make enough money to buy hifi so switched to engineering. 😁 I have to say it’s a hard no on the Lawrence Audio Violins though... :)

@rmcole1
I was just thinking yesterday, NO ONE had mentioned CANTON speakers as yet. 
And there we are! 

Yes, must be my German DNA, — they do have something, who will want to argue? 

And the sound is beautiful too on that YouTube clip. 

From what I can see, their former more bland, butch appearance has improved in a way.
Or is this just my nostalgia speaking? 🤔 

🎂 for you bringing it up. 😊

@taww

Violin playing or not playing,
I have to agree on your 'hard no'. 

Talking of alien 👽 looks, eish! 🙈

Michelle, as a retired audio consultant, I need to always place the sound quality of a speaker ( an entire system, actually ) before aesthetics. I have always maintained a separate, dedicated listening room, and my ex wife knew this of me when we met, and lived together, for 35 years. She knew what she was getting into. However, I do understand the combined audio room / living room situation, and how both the audio reproduction, and the visual aesthetic, need to be shared. This does not need to be compromising, although, as you are quite aware, can be limiting, in your choices. What I have found interesting, reading this thread, is how many posters, made speaker recommendations to you, without looking at your room photo ( panels, JBL 67000, etc. ) which would never work. Michelle, I have known, and helped, only a handful of female audiophiles, in my lifetime. I believe, you know what you like, and will prosper, with your next endeavor. Question for you. Have you ever set up your speakers, with the side woofers facing outward, rather than inward ? ( I understand Burmester recommends them facing inward, but in some rooms / set ups, outward can be better )....Enjoy !, and be well. Always, MrD.
