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. 😱

Isochronostically speaking - it sounds like you made the right choice. 
In particular if they sound as great, as they don't look. Kind of counterintuitive, eh? ☝️ 

Its still some enigma to me, how such a cupboard, or is it sideboard, equipped with drivers, can create sound anywhere near to the intended recording. 

This, I'll admit, must be due to my lack of audio-engineering training. 

I'd consider to rearrange them perhaps as an chimney mantel piece?
Alas, we beheld earlier, they not quite flame resistant... 😕

Ok, just flummoxed...🤔 🤭

I really like PBN speakers for both sound and looks    https://pbnaudio.com/innerchoic-series/

Michelle, I honestly DO appreciate your fleeting attempt at TRYING liking my speakers., for me, at least. Actually the other two times I mentioned these in other threads no one had any experience or much to say. Granted, your interest is in lighting these on fire ⛽️ .... at least it IS SOME sort of attention. All is fun and we both found our own likes. 🥂

Shoosh now. 😃 
All we'd come to was, that they inversly proportional in looks to sound quality ¦
SQ = 1/L ... ✔️

No more ⛽ or 🔥 is needed to solve the issue, so... now just enjoy the music 🎶 👋🤣

Too homely looking - somehow... 
Seem too have this 'green renewable energy look' about them (why do I think knitting coarse lambs-wool cardigans now?) or made of bamboo or so?  L = 1/(SQ - X) ? 🤔 

Also, if more than one tweeter - mo betta have second placed in rear. ✔️
Giving those others seriously a miss. 

Two stacked AMTs behind a wave-guide are fine; L = SQ 👍

But thanks, for sharing your preference!
