design criteria, W.A.F. etc

Please forgive the naive questions. I'm getting my Sansui AU-11000 refurbished and would like to upgrade my speakers. Showed the Misses and was exposed to a serious case of mad wife disease. Towers of any kind are out. Don't have a listening room per se, just a 350sq.ft. living room in which I mostly listen to CDs - lots of acoustic guitar, bluegrass and of course all the rock I grew up with. At the risk of sounding like a complete Philistine, my current speakers are Bose 901 series VI. Best monitor sized 2-channel speakers in you opinion? Could spend 1-2K.

Sounds like, hostile conditions exist. So here is the what to do: Just get headphones, no speakers. This will drive her crazy with 'you don't pay attention to me'. Which will set the stage for speakers, of your choice. Also, when speakers are okay-ed, get the best finish, say rosewood etc. Make it a furniture play, not a speaker play. Let her pick the wood finish. Floor stander's are a must, as the WAF with stands does not exist.

I think as a man you should stand up for yourself and take your castle back.

Gentlemen- The jist of my inquiry is really about what kind of (monitor sized) speakers would sound good with my old amp and the kind of music I listen to. While us men have to stick together and put our foot down, once in a while, we also have to pick our battles. So, opinions about excellent speakers -less than 4feet tall in my price range?
