From what I have read and been told privately, the Daedalus Audio line of
loudspeakers fits this description, especially the Ulysses model. They are built
of hardwood by a master craftsman.
Audiokinesis loudspeakers also fit the description, and they are less than half
the cost of the Ulysses, but their aesthetics are a bit spartan, IMO. (Duke
could address this somewhat by at least adding grills).
