Beautiful Speakers

I have to recommend the Sonus Faber Concerto Grand Piano's. They are like sculpture. I was originally shopping for a speaker in the under $2500 range. My wife is an architect and we were redecorating our apartment. On the way out of one store, she saw a pair of Grand Piano's tucked into the corner and asked the sales guy what they were. He set them up and they sound great. She was hooked by the look and the sound. We bought them together with the stone isolation bases. They look great.

I should add that they retail for $3500 plus $500 for the bases. They take a long time to break in, but they peform terrifically. Stereophile.com has a review by M. Fremer archived for your reference. Good luck.

Beauty is even more subjective than sound, but I particularly like the looks of Sonus Faber Homage (both models) and any of the Avalon models.

I agree with the Amati Homage. They are stunning and the workmanship is wonderful. Maybe you can specify what price range.
