My dream speakers would be from the 1970s but rebuilt to sound like the latest DSP active models. I really like the look of 'monkey coffins', and there's nothing intrinsically wrong with them.
Many modern speakers still have the sharp corners, but in slim floor stander form they do nothing for me. Once they were the very definition of modernity compared to those old teak-veneered boxes from the 1970s. I could never quite believe how something so slender and fashionable could sound like proper hi fi. I was right - they don't!
Then you need a pair of M2s and a couple of Crowns. 70s mojo in a Darth Vader suit. Slap some oak veneer on them. Get someone to make you some tweedy beige covers that look like the belong in a 2017 salad.
