How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it also depends on the setting and placement. My ZuDef4s in gloss black are perfect for my space, but they might look out of place in a more traditional home. That said, there is no excuse for an ugly spea... 
RMAF 2020 is Cancelled

some help with speaker placement/purchase

$3000 stand mounted speakers?
