Speakers with high WAF?


Friends, I have moved all my gear out of our family room and resituated it in my photostudio - all with my wife's unstated blessing. She hated the looks of those Newform Research 645's - mid/bass drivers in a rectangular black box, with a ribbon pole shooting out of the top to about 6'. But they sound so nice...So I am looking for a pair of replacements that may be a bit less "form following function." Showed her a pair of Adagios in the beautiful burl walnut - "but they don't look like furniture...." Thinking that a pair of Klipschorns tucked in the corners of our large family would be a bit more innocuous, she asked "Isn't there something that could be hung on the wall/" Guess that nixes the Klips. So I'd appreciate any of you guys who were ultimately able to satisfy your sonic needs and your wife's esthetic sensibilities. And ladies, your imput would be particularly appreciated.

Deliberate1, try clicking on Jb8312's 'System' link, there are photos in there of his Parsifal's.
I think they look fabulous, my wife prefers my Makore finish though, which is quite fortunate, since the Makore cost less than the Big Leaf Quilted Maple.

As my wife said, "those Wilson W/P 8's* are oh-kaaay". "Its those big black ugly things behind the speakers" (my Lamm 2.1's).

* She picked the Mercedes Desert Silver finish. Which does go well in our modern decor.
Jmcgrogan2, I checked out the link to JB8312's Parsifals in big leaf maple - and the price. "Stunning" in every respect.
NHT XD, extremely high WAF... a very sensible compromise between man and woman.
