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. 😱

GOOD for you, I say! 😉

Talking of beautiful cabinets, you didn't mention the type - there are so MANY, so? 🤔

In the more recent past, I had a pair of SF Olympica II in my place.
Now talking of looks - only, eh?

Obviously the big here item is ones room, as it is, and synergy or lack thereof.

The bass performance of this item was ever so puny, it was more surprising then off-putting, I recall. 

I payed the $$$ for the short pleasure of having them installed, and was happy when they were gone the next day. 

So, please note!
WAF passing 'inspection' only is not a given, - at least not in this here household! 😉

So please try to explain the Piega’s "Alleinherausstellungsmerkmal" to help me on, why to replace a B961 with any of these.

I’m truely interest to learn something about this suggestion of yours.

Just, like "they look nice and different" is not gonna cut it, as explained a bit earlier, um. 😎

I do know from way back, (Image Hifi Mag) these Swiss items do have a reputation to defend, like their watches maybe? 😉

Thanks in advance,

Hi, the issue regarding panels, electrostats, and dipoles was already answered by me in the negative - and this NOT based on their looks dear.
Sorry to disappoint you 😢
