There's certainly a gap in the market for honest, beautiful speakers and stands. Most companies tend to think design-led means contemporary styling, just like the automotive sector or modern furniture.
There's a nice page on instagram that has some lovely looking spaces and set ups:

In some ways, speakers dominating a room can be a good thing, if they look good. Trouble is, most systems don't. Too many blue lights, over-designed form factors, gloss finishes etc. Homes aren't like that. The link here shows some good integration of honest systems in real spaces.
I like the classic designs of Harbeth, Spendor etc and the Tannoys are interesting, too. Real wood, good form factors, purposeful looking. In my mind, design, craft and performance/functionality should be balanced. Many would think about a dining table or an armchair in the same way. Objects we live with every day should be a joy to use, own and share.
