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 told a violin player I met about the Lawrence Audio Violins. If I played the violin and I was an audiophile, they would be awesome to have in my living room. 

     I really like the looks of my old Snell Type B's. They're unique because they have a rear firing tweeter on the fifth side of the cabinet that is aimed into the center of the soundstage. I'm not aware of any other speakers that do this. This adds significantly to the depth of the sound field.
                      It's already been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To add to that; Once a gorgeous sound is heard emulating from ANY speaker (or person), that speaker takes on new life in terms of visual perception. I'll definitely be checking out a pair of Tektons when time permits. Joe
