Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker


Title says it all.  High end for a living room - budget under $25k.  Do not really want bookshelf so exploring my options here.

Linkwitz LX521 Reference for "open baffle" speakers $22,000 per pair.

Joseph Audio Perspective2 Graphene $17,000 per pair

I do not own either, but I've LOVED them each time I've heard them; whether at a show, showroom, or in a friends home

Totem speakers always punch way above their price point. The Forrest Signature are 7.8 inches wide floor standers at 8K.  I have owned and listened to their bookshelf speakers and honestly even the tiniest ones will fill a room with sound.

I had a demo of Aerial Acoustics 7T and they were very impressive.  It was a small-ish well treated room listening in the nearfield with high-end solid state electronics.  

KEF Reference 3 or roll the entire budget on Reference 5... I like the Perlisten, S7t too. Just my opinion...
