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. 😱

🤩 MBL the Berlin "Klang-Schmiede" for "Biegewellenwandler" ja now fine, as we say around here. 
And so why not, eh? 
I've to admit I never had the opportunity being invited to a listening session of those.
They're so 'high-endig' including their other offerings like ½ tone mono-blocks, I've seen in real life in Munich, and ~¼ tone CDPs etc. (at the time) you might add reinforced flooring in your dreams. 😉
In Germany that is strictly pro high-society, kind of going with a chauffeur-driven Maibach and the like. 👋😃
But, you also have to like the idea of  'Omnidirektionale Rundumstrahler' ha, - the German version of surround-sound, methinks. 

There are very 'Deutsche Diskussionen' on the pros and cons of these, and it's my suspicion few discussing it, have never really heard these in real life, and are purely involved in the theory. Sehr deutsch aus das 😃

Of course Burmester GmbH (Gemeinschaft mit beschränkter Haftpflicht) is also in Berlin 'angesiedelt' and they're in a sort of subdued competition with MBL. (We do not discuss each others product merits, OTON MBL Vertrieb). Very good, ja. 😊 

Well, and who knows, sometimes dreams can come true. For you.

LoL, I like the emoji’s; shows spunk and character. I really don’t think she’s a boomer either.

MBL’s are incredible. My favorite! I’ve “only“ heard the 101E mkii though, never the X-Tremes. I heard that there is a gentleman that has 6 Xtremes in his home in new york, set up all around the listening position 😵. Now thats a surround sound set-up that would be engulfing to say the least.

Alsyvox was pretty dang impressive too but my mansion in heaven is MBL all the way through. They are astonishing. I’ve been lucky enough to listen to them for a few hours on two different occasions. The husband / wife distributors for MBL are out of New York and they are awesome! I would have asked their names but everyone is too busy listening to music. I friggin love it. Other rooms at audio shows always have 2 old dudes sitting right behind me talking about what the ate for lunch, clankin’ together their lanyards. The MBL room, everyone is just sitting there dead silent in aww. It probably doesn’t hurt that you couldn’t hear a dang word anyone would say; probably why people shut up and just listen.

Hm, got any life experiences to share - in terms of emoji help? 🤔 😣 

Can always consider eating loads of chocolate (Lindt PLEASE!) to create sufficient constipation to keep them emotions all in. 
Not to sure of the health benefits though? 

No idea how you'd do it ?!?

BTW, blogs like this one here, ARE after all are social media - not... academic theses postings for peer reviews.
Ever, at all, noticed there's a minor difference here? At all? 
😘 

Never knew emojis use was a 'Baby Boomer' thing, must be caused by post-ware trauma maybe?

Gotta Google now for 'Psychology of Emoji usage'. 
More food for 💭 hum.

PS: Castel(s) in the sky equipped with "Biegewellenwandler" interesting idea, might even improve on life Aeolian harp 'Frohlocken' performance. 😇 LOL.
