Small family living room floor-standing speakers?


I’m looking for speakers to upgrade my music listening and provide audio for a 58” TV. The speakers have to be both wife and child-friendly. Don’t need to rock the room, but want the speakers to sonically disappear as much as possible. I need a small footprint. Budget flexible,around $1-2K. Used or new is okay.

15’ x 20’ living room, TV and sofa on opposite walls. Speakers on either side of the TV, against the wall--no space to place them away from the wall.

Stereo: Sony V-FET TA-4650 amp, server-based FLAC library of CD’s, Squeezebox system, Rhapsody streaming, Rotel CD player.

Considering: Totem (Arro?), Epos, Monitor Audio, PSB, Paradigm. I'm wary of the sound quality of on-wall speakers--is that fair?

Ideas? Thanks!

Ohm MicroWalsh talls are a great small floorstander. These are amazing speakers, and are the most child proof speaker available. Wife friendly, will be subjective...
i will second Unisound's recommendation. The Meadowlarks are also front ported and can get closer to the wall.
Role Audio Line of front ported transmission line loudspeakers,also shielded for near TV placements.
We have the top of the line Enterprise for sale in your price range.
