Need Speakers at least 4 feet high

Very disturbing what wives can do - first it was move them closer to the wall - did so, at significant cost of soundstaging and imaging - next, I come home and there is that huge, upholstered chair that she is crazy about, the size of the Whire House, completely obscuring the speaker! "What's the problem"? She asks, get higher speakers, then!!" So, I need your help. To do just that. I cant even see the right speaker now. The house-sized chair is planted right in front of the right speaker! Her revenge.
Budget - about $10-12K, must have coherence of Kharma 3.2 Enigmas, which they will replace. (And which some lucky soul with a kinder wife can buy:) Must image 2 ft from front wall, 8 ft apart, room size, 23' X 16 ft X high A type ceiling. System: EMM CDSD/DCC2, Sota Cosmos V, EAR 324, AS MP-1, AS MA 2.2,(200 WPC, Class A, OTL - likes 8 ohm inpedance) PAD Dominus S/C.
This is a serious request of y'all, so please, despite your suggestions of dumping the chair and the wife, let me know if there are any speakers out there that I should look at.
Thanks.

Hi, I have a pair of Krause Cinema extremes 48" x 14" w 18" deep that can handle 1,000 watts. Aprox 7 1/2" Tall x 9" wide horn tweeter and 2 12" mids. You can bi-amp them. Heavy about 135 lbs each. No one seems to know anything about them, but they are more like night club speakers. They sound good too! Do you know anything about these. If I were to let them go I don't know how I'd be able to ship. Good luck with your speakers, maybe you could build some fancy stands for them that your wife would like. Roger

I doubt any speaker at any size or price will sound too good with a “White House sized” chair directly on front of them. I used to do a version of this growing up as a teenager w/ my Mom & it appeased both our needs assuming you don’t listen to your system when your wife wants to sit in the chair:

move the big chair into your perfect listening spot when actually listening & return it in front of the speaker when done. Simple.

My Mom never knew or at least she never said anything.
