If I were in your position—needing a speaker that is both aesthetically right and that sounds great—I would start by selecting some possibilities among those that will look good in your room, and then choose from there. There are many choices.
Twice, I was in the position of wanting to choose something that both sounded good and looked good (or at least appropriate) in my living spaces. In both cases I researched and tried a number of options. These choices likely won’t apply to your situation. In a medium-size room I chose the KEF LS60s, which are proving to be a perfect visual and sonic choice for our living situation. The second choice might be controversial, but for our large room we eventually chose the Magnepan 1.7i with the light-colored, natural grill cloth. While the panels are large, the light shade and ability to move them easily if necessary makes the size almost a non-issue. I haven’t had to move them out of the way yet, and they’ve been in use for 8 years.
Enjoy making your choice!
