Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF

It's that time of life when the large home is no longer needed and a New Orleans French Quarter condo is more exciting. So I'll be saying good-bye to my Wilson watt puppy 7's, wonderful "Big Mac" MC2000 (get the tubes right and this amp is incredible), Hovland HP100, Dodson DAC, Sony SCD-1, Lector CDP 7TL and mucho other stuff I spent years perfecting with tube rolling. Now I'm looking for a very good speaker system that will complement a Luxman L-590AII integrated amp along with a single box cd player. I don't particularly like speakers that are overly warm but prefer accuracy, clarity, wide soundstaging and musical dynamics which the watt pup 7's serves up with the right equipment. I would be interested in hearing from others who live in smaller spaces and share a similar musical taste and bought speakers that mirror my musical taste. Prior to the watt pups (I've owned the 6 & 7's) I had ML Prodigy and Quad ESL 63 stats (fast & transparent but low WAF).

It would be Triangles for me. I think these fit your requirements perfectly.

My Titus 202s showed me that there could be life without Maggies and with high WAF at both more moderate and higher SPLs

Tidal Amea, Raidho Ayra C1.0 or Focal Diablo Utopia. All state of the art IMO.

I use a pair of Celestion SL 700s in my bedroom. Another accurate speaker that I liked a lot was the Lipinski 707s.

Thanks for the responses I did hear the Gallo 3.1's at one of the NY shows and was impressed.
