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

Ok, just to mention, if good speakers 'vanish' once you 'switch them on' - mine certainly do. 

So they still seem 'good speakers' eh? Even after 25 odd years. Interesting to learn. 😇

As for finishes. The older I get the less I'm into wood finish. I mentioned coffins... ⚰ 

I care for all suggestions mentioned, and been doing a lot of looking up of images on the web.
Numerous mentioned I'm familiar with, of sorts already, like e.g. Monitor Audio and that Ape named item, Orangutan et all. 

Some could do from a sound point of review, ok, but looks... not really.

Then there is JVC with compression horn tweeters - give a girl a break! as for their looks. Darth Vader? SCARY! 🙈 

And talking of horns, — OMG! Talk about weird contraptions in your living room. Puleeze!
Can put your bicycle next to it, and your Harley Knuckle-Head if you think.
Don't forget to take care of any oil leaks though. 🙄😱

One more thing to mention, talking of tweeters!
I'm not much of a fan of dome tweeters, neither silk, nor beryllium, or alu, perhaps diamond, yeah and why not. 💍 👍 😃
But ribbon, or a TOTL AMT kind, that will ring a 🛎 with me. 😊

This might now serve the request of narrowing things down a bit, eh? 
And thanks a stack, yet again! 😘

Hm, interesting at least now I have to acknowledge some here creativity, though looking at the image I'm having two comments : If the front looks like the sides and back? Is it the front?! Odd, kind of idea but interesting. Yes!
Secondly, that ET 👽 tweeter item on top... kind of delicately beautiful like some kind of Meißen piece porcelain creation. 
Though if my cleaner here gets even near to it, I'd get MAJOR paranoid, oh for bloody sure I would.
As for sound... I imagine it will sound as amazingly beautiful as that designer had in his strive for sound perfection.
Looks like they/he/she ticked all the boxes at first glance, yes? 👋 💫 ✨ 

Kudos for bringing it up, will need to look some more into this one. 

Any idea of $$$$... 😉 ? 🤔 🤑🤩

Euro sexy - Sonus Faber, Focal.
American Iron- Salk, Klipsch
British Proper- Spendor- Classic line.
Scandy's best-Borresen Clean Scan lines and the best sound 

Most of the others brands are boring, rehashes or simply outright
ugly.
