How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present


Hi, 
Sometimes when I dream, imagining of replacing my current 1997 Burmester 961 speakers, before maybe COVID19 is sending me to an early grave - I'm practically only stumbling on ugly often even like somehow crippled looking speaker creations.
Test will say, sounding fantastically gorgeous and - looking like 💩. 
This, or par tout looking like some or other children's coffin ⚰. 😥👻

Not for the life of it, can I imagine ever having some such 'creation' invading my daily living space. Ever.

Talking 'bout a BAD WAF situation, I say.

Some makers are trying to improve on this tragic situation with creations looking far too anatomical or something alien👾 fruit thing hanging off a tree... handle an' all. 

Is there no hope out there at all...? 🤔

So can one savely move on forgetting about a replacement, still in this here life, and saving the money 💰 ?

Well, the budget <= max 20k $ lets say, so I won't risk starving before the lockdown will end ever. 😱

I REALLY like the look of my speakers, but they wouldn't work in the OP's system. Beauhorn Virtuoso. Also no longer made. I'm trying......
In other words: Michelle say's "I don't chew my cabbage twice". You're welcome (not that you needed my help) 😄
"I wouldn't have them in MY living room" Michelle, you would hate the look of my speakers more than any in the world.            "You wouldn't be sitting in MY sweet spot"
justmetoo, Unfortunatly (for me) my speakers have been long out of use as I've been looking to move to a larger place to house them properly, hence I regrettable offer no system page. YouTube "JBL 4550"(375/075:4550) those are identical to mine. Model 4676-a. Pro Series. I'm sure you'd enjoy giving them a visit, just not marriage to them!! Your statement "I wouldn't have them in MY living room" gave me a very excellent laugh as I can imagine many husbands hearing that exact response. 😩
Yes, the burnt 4550 (2-15) bottom cab. Could be a case of Domestic Arson. A woman's home is her Castle. Yes Dear! 🤕
My two pairs of amplifiers (45 & 300B) are the Yin, and my speakers represent the Yang. So I try to be balanced (but RCA).     Of course I yam what I yam. 💪🏻 ⚓️
Michelle, your post still has me laughing!!! Of course,  not so funny if they were mine. 🤣
Perhaps, ugly as sin - no beauty contest.  My idea is that they will sound good and one can alway's close their eyes.                                Perfect for a man-cave ora caveman? 🐒
Just a BIT ugly? Those are your babies?Now you'd be insulting my Wife as if her offspring would be homely. But of course, I have no Wife since I'm allowed these speakers. Plus, she'd be insulting ME for choosing such ugly ones! You see Michelle, we both are losing this battle together. 😂 Isn't this fun!!!! 😜
Perhaps I detect sour-grapes 🍇 🤢 as these are very hard to find??  Believing  that make's me feel as though I made the proper choice. 🏆🏅😉
Michelle, You are fully correct 🎯 I have only myself to blame, and clearly can see the elephants in the room 🐘🐘 it is a joy to get each other's take on these matters along the way (and personalities) of which is the equipment. At the end of that line, the soul is the goal. 🔉🔉 In appreciation of your well-wishes to home them soon, I also hope to do a system page.🤞🏻It's nice to see the environments where the music is enjoyed. 🛋☕️ You'll find your's and at the opposite end of the scale as mine. 😄
Michelle, I honestly DO appreciate your fleeting attempt at TRYING liking my speakers., for me, at least. Actually the other two times I mentioned these in other threads no one had any experience or much to say. Granted, your interest is in lighting these on fire ⛽️ .... at least it IS SOME sort of attention. All is fun and we both found our own likes. 🥂 

I'm in complete accordance! Spin some Records or CDs!! 🎹🎻🎺🎷🥁 Enjoy
