These Paradigms are available in black or white and within your budget, and especially if you leave the grills off they look pretty cool with their funky-tech midwoof drivers. Best of luck.

Speaker with Modern Design
I know I will get groans..
But, I am looking for a speaker that has a modern, sleek look with lighter color scheme (grays, whites, light wood, with some blacks ok).
Of course, good sound quality would also be good.. I will be matching it likely with PowerNode.
I am looking for something around 500-1000 USD range and something bookshelf sized or similar.
A tall order, I know...
