you seem to like Danish speakers, and I do too. I'd check out Buchardt speakers too, (I couldn't, none in my area, but decent return policy)

I'm looking to upgrade my Dali Ikon IIs for a living room, where the aesthetics are a big part of the decision. I'm heavily leaning towards the SF Sonetto IIs, but I've never heard them, and that is purely based on the appearance and a few reviews. I plan to drive these with a Belles Aria integrated. I know it's a long list, but I'm just hoping for some thoughts, or perhaps a good reason (or not) to go with the Sonettos. While I'd love to listen to them all, It's unlikely that I'll find them on display. I've already heard the Vandersteen CT which was when I auditioned my amp and think they're awesome. I'm just not sure they're "pretty" enough for the room.
Thanks!
