I know it's already been mentioned before, but Avalon Acoustics speakers with a Jeff Rowland front end. I've seen a lot of people recommending boxes with drivers that all look the same. Avalon sure as hell doesn't look like much of anything else but with all the veneer finishes, can match just about anything. A bit of a personal recommendation, but I find the pairing of the sleek and polished Rowland gear and the tight, angular, and still somehow smooth, Avalon speakers to be the perfect match.
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. 😱

@davisbryant Almost completely agree with your take/tast. My only 🤔 caveat (these days...) is their predominant use of drivers like having cermaic membrane and metal dome tweeters. Looks and make/quality are right up my alley 😍! As for the Rowland gear - great - ! so long its not class D... 🙄 Ever so picky, eh? ☺ Michélle 🇿🇦 |
@davisbryant Sounds all good, what else can I say? 😉 So far the best looking and I'm sure sounding alternative to my current gear. Now I'll see if these day-dreams will concur - and strong enough to talk to my savings. 😏 Avalon and Rowland gear. Can anyone object to that? Maybe my pocketbook? Anyone else? 🤔 Michélle 🇿🇦 |
You know what they say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", or something like that. How about the Classic Audio Loudspeakers T1.5 reference? https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/wLUn3cWwQ4ia3l5VSQ0kug.tu0JmA_ZGUk0EcicbVvGCb
