My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf


This is a follow up post to my “Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker.

Price range - below $25k 

In quote “A gorgeous Piano white” - tower or bookshelf 

Aesthetics count as it’s a centerpiece to our new gathering room

FWIW, while I love the looks of the Estelon Aura, keep in mind that it is bottom firing, not bottom ported. The woofer is facing downwards, so it generates a lot of bass toward the floor which also dissipates to the rear of the speaker. It is recommended that the Aura are also placed quite a distance from the walls, or else it will sound boomy and muffled. A number of the reviews cover this. Many of the speakers being recommended are not paying attention to your room and living constraints.

KEF Reference 5 Meta White/Gold... I'm sure you have the electronics to push these around.

How about a set of Martin Logan towers? They make em in white and a pair of their top end model is approx 5500. They are said to sound very good and their gloss white finish and cabinet work is rated highly.

Paradigm Persona 3F or 5F in white (or custom colors!). They are gorgeous and sound great (adjust the toe in to your liking). Well reviewed high value speakers built by a very reputable company in Canada, with a long history. I have the 3F and love it! You may need subwoofers if you have a large room, but those can be hidden.

I will second (or third) the PSAudio speakers.   I also listened to them at the factory, and was quite impressed with each of the four price points.  I own one pair, and planning to buy the next size up.
