A thin and elegant system?

If I add up the weight of everything in the front of my music room, it is over 500 pounds and pretty much fills a 16' wide wall. Don't get me wrong... it is all there for a reason and produces some wonderful sound, but it got me wondering if there was an alternative out there that was the opposite.

Minimalist, elegant, thin.

So that is the foundation of my question: What thin and elegant speakers do you know of that produce amazing sound?  What dac/amp/receiver that is outside of the standard component box shape?

I'd like to keep the cost of the entire system under $5K.

Thanks!

Well, let's nto blame physics for your budget. :)

I think some of the Nola, or Totem designs, not to mention the KEF Blad would fit the thin and elegant requirements, just not an entire system under $5k. :)

Best,

Erik

There's a pair of used Scansonic MB 3.5 speakers on the 'Gon now (apparently in less than pristine condition) that look pretty much like something that would fit your description.

Kii Audio 3s are a fantastic choice but well out of the budget. They contain 6 amps and 6 dacs per speaker in a very small form factor with a real full range output. You might want to give them a thought.
