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. 😱

Tablejockey has the right idea. I think to most women the Sonus Faber speakers will win that battle as they look more like fine furniture. They are also a fine sounding loudspeaker.
A note to all you young unmarried audiophiles out there. Get the biggest, ugliest speakers you can afford. If they marry you with those monstrosities you are in business. When I met my wife I had Magnepan Tympani's, perfect. Anything looks better than Tympani's. She'll have no problem swallowing Sound Labs 845's:)    
Hm, I know... what is ment by 'nice looking'.
As in: "de gustibus non disputandum est. 😉"... 
Will some 'hunch back of Notre dame' design cut it? 😉 Not at all, and as mentioned, there's some mighty weird stuff on offer... 

A quick look at my one and only system photo will be the quickest way to see my still current speakers, Burmester 961 as mentioned.
They, at the time, had far better WAF than e.g. Watt/Puppys, high polished car paint and all, - sound also didn't sway me either - at the time...

The first suggestion with all those lined up 'jam pots' is a beautiful negative, sorry,
that ZU item is kind of furniture, yes, but kind of too big furniture for me,
and the Maggie idea is in need of more than just 3 foot front wall space, plus kind of mighty imposing in a living room. Musical paravan/dividers 🎶🙄

The smaller Maggies have no low-end I read, and there is no room for subs, never really was, plus I'm cagey about their ultimate integration issues.

But in any case many thanks for that kind feedback! 👍😊

There are more pretty ones these days than ugly ones. Excellent sound is more the issue, and occasionally, but not often, some that sound very good are ungainly, or not beautiful as far as most women or non-audiophiles are concerned. Other than that, I don't know what you're getting at. There's a "sound" for everyone out there. Pick one, and then get  that type of sound in a pretty wrapper.
My solution was Acoustic Zen Crescendo II, pre-owned.  Beautiful in rosewood.  My wife exclaimed "OHHH, they're like furniture!" when I unboxed them.  8 - 9 k$  
Not sure what you consider to be nice-looking.  Would a pair of fabric-covered room dividers suit your taste?  Maggies would fill the bill there.
How about making your posts (since you’ve been doing the same there), demonstratively evident in your Opening Post above,... "Nice Looking" [read less Ugly] akin to the speakers you desire... by demonstrating impulse control with the emojis?
Scaena Loudspeakers are elegant speaker art.  Specific colors can be special ordered to match decors or for any personal preference 

They take up very little physical space, yet throw an enormous sound stage
