The best looking speakers

Focal Sopra 2 or 3. The finish and style are only secondary to their fantastic sound. I own a pair of the Sopra 2's. 

FWIW...we all deal with WAF issues and it was a motivating factor in me starting my company.  I make stand-mounts largely because my wife hates floor standers and it allows me to keep my own speakers in the living room.  But every wife is different. 

You need to define best looking according to her.  I designed the speakers to my wife’s taste.  I use simple cabinets with interesting looking drivers.  I thought she would be horrified by my stands and she loved them and thinks the metal IsoAcoustic pucks look great.  They can be unpredictable at best.  

For me, I had a pair of Raidho X-1s.  To say my wife hated them doesn’t really capture her feelings and she ranted about the white speaker cone.  I use an Eton driver and the cone is shiny white with a sort of swirl to it and she loves it.  Shiny vs flat made a difference too her.  Gloss baffle vs aluminum baffle mattered to her.  Again, unpredictable at best.  

But, I can only complain so much since she did allow me to start my own speaker company.  The right manufacturer can be more flexible than you think.  I work with a cabinet maker who will put any veneer on my cabinets.  We can stain or paint them any color.  I am about to do a photo shoot with a speaker in an African Rosewood/Bubinga veneer.  

Find the right company to work with and you will have a lifetime of happiness.  

The wife wanted stand mounts, i wanted good rich sound.  we both wanted speakers with a natural wood finish that complimented the woodwork in our 1900 Edwardian house.

I appreciate the responses. Gives me companies to look at. Which I really enjoy doing.

Another vote for Sonus Faber. Dali too.

I agree. Take her to a show and ask her to tell you which speakers are visually appealing and which are unacceptable. Many manufacturers will have a selection of finishes (colors, veneers, etc) which may help. Speakers that are designed to be near the wall may also help. 

Not every woman dislikes Maggies my wife likes my 3.7i and will often times say turn it up when playing music she enjoys.

 Focal Electra 1038be. Pictures don't do them justice.  They are really gorgeous, especially with the grills off. My wife even loves them.

Any comments on Joseph Audio Perspective or PMC Fact 12 signature I think JA offers some very nice finishes 

i think the devore’s look pretty good.

Be careful how you say that or you might wind up single

Dali Epicon 6 or 8! 

I have Totem winds in the main room and fritz Carreras upstairs.
i don’t think either look bad....  
i think the devore’s look pretty good. 

I like the big Dali Epicon 8 in Rosewood Hi-gloss...

Subjective of course but I think generally Sonus Faber probably looks the best

Mine are. Your opinion may vary :-)

+1 for:
"Smart guys will carve out a room for themselves in which they have the ultimate say"

johndinius, the waf is entirely unpredictable. It depends on the wife's tastes and the decor of the room along with the degree of animosity she has for spending money on such worthless things as speakers. Most women want speakers that are entirely hidden. Of course we all know in wall speakers generally suck. Smart guys will carve out a room for themselves in which they have the ultimate say. The deal of course is the wife has the rest of the house. Hog tied again. Believe it or not K horns are usually well accepted because they fit tight into a corner, are made of handsome veneers and don't look like speakers. Unfortunately, most of us do not like the sound as is. Planar speakers are out because they have to be away from the wall and become the preeminent fixture of the room not the painting your daughter did when she was 12 years old.
The best advise I can give is include your wife in the decision making, bring her to any auditions, let her know how much music means to you and keep your fingers crossed. I lucked out unintentionally because when I met the love of my life I had Magnepan Tympani 3's which could easily win the award for the ugliest speaker ever made. Anything would be an improvement. Score one for the good guys:) I still get my volume turned down all the time. They just do not like loud music and you can't teach them how to down shift. Am I in trouble yet?

What's your budget? Room size (floor stand or bookshelf)?
