Good looking Towers for < $2000?

The Paradigm towers won't let you down. Acoustic Zen Adagios or Triangle Antals are also beautiful and bass-y.

As are Trenner and Friedl if you can afford them.

@Paraneer - although you make a decent point, you do so in a pretty condescending manner. Yes, the OP is asking for advice from strangers - who may or may not "tell you what they have or want to have". But that may also be the best way for him or her. Most of us don’t have the location luxury to audition many different types of speakers and, truthfully, almost every pair of speakers I’ve owned and enjoyed - save for a pair of Triangle Celius and Maggie 3.6R’s I first heard at a dealer - I’ve bought and enjoyed based on recommendations here or in Stereophile.

Why? Because like the OP, I’ve rarely lived anywhere where I can audition a lot of different brands.

The OP wanted speakers that are attractive and have more bass than his existing Paradigm monitors; and he’s received a few ideas - including sticking to Paradigms. And yes, he did listen to and rule out the BW’s, as you patronizingly pointed out. But BW’s are everywhere; most of the others are not.

And if he’s doing things "the worst way possible", then that worst way has worked out fine for me over the years, with changes in speakers coming from my own online and print research and from this board --  only coming about because of spatial or component changes or simple curiosity - not out of dissatisfaction with the speakers themselves.

@Paraneer -- Fair enough. I respectfully agree to disagree. Yes, your point about actually listening to speakers is accurate. But going off recs and second-hand info can be just as enlightening.

@albireo13   You mentioned WAF, attractiveness, and that you switched to a Nuprime IDA8. The latter is rated at 100w at 8ohms. With that output, I second abd1's suggestion of Totems. The Totem Hawks are well-made, beautiful-sounding speakers that would mate well with your Nuprime. The Totem Arros are much the same, though smaller. And Totem makes some very pretty finishes. The same can be said for the LSA 2.1 Statements.

I don't own any of these speakers, though I do have an LSA Statement integrated and I used to own a pair of Totem Arros about a decade ago.
