A thin and elegant system?

If I add up the weight of everything in the front of my music room, it is over 500 pounds and pretty much fills a 16' wide wall. Don't get me wrong... it is all there for a reason and produces some wonderful sound, but it got me wondering if there was an alternative out there that was the opposite.

Minimalist, elegant, thin.

So that is the foundation of my question: What thin and elegant speakers do you know of that produce amazing sound?  What dac/amp/receiver that is outside of the standard component box shape?

I'd like to keep the cost of the entire system under $5K.

Thanks!

This is more of an exercise in possibility rather than an actual purchase.  I was just curious what was out there in that design.

I haven't really seen anything like what I am thinking, as most towers use 6-8" wide drivers on the front.  Perhaps it is the limit of physics.

Some interesting ideas... thanks for humoring me.

The weight isn't an issue - just a way of summing up the mass of it all.

I appreciate the answers, but most of these are simply boxes with drivers on the front face - and yes I know the reasons for that - but I think I am after alternative designs.  The KEF Blade is a good, albiet expensive, example.   Perhaps speakers that have a sculptural sensibilty over the traditional box tower?
