Traditional looking speakers

Suggestions please. I've been living with low end audio equipment for a long time. Now that I am completing a family room addition I am ready to purchase some great sounding equipment.
I want to start with speakers and build a system around them. Room size 17 X 18 with 10' ceiling. Speaker budget $2,500 plus or minus for pair. I need speakers that are "traditional looking". In other words GMA Europa, Meadoelarks, Maggies, etc. are all out of consideration although they all sound great. We listen to a lot of female vocals and acoustic music.
In short, I need speakers that are attractive when my eyes are open, and sound like the band is in the room with me when my eyes are closed.
I know "Beauty is in the eye of the speaker lover".

Thiel 2.4s. Bought used, this is a best buy within your budget, and will play acoustic music and vocals to their fullest potential. Look for a demo pair from a dealer if possible, to obtain the full warranty. They will require good electronics, but you could build your whole system around them.

The Hyperion 938 - 4k retail but can be gotten from most dealers for 2995 or so. They blow away most anything in the 5-7K range.
