Great Small Speakers w/ high WAF?


I'm looking for some great small speakers with a high Wife Accpetance Factor. I have ProAc 1.5's now and frankly they are not bad looking but the spouse is looking for something smaller still. Any experience out there with Gallo Due's, KEF 101, LS3/5a?

Gotta be small and moutable near a wall.

Phil,

Hard to beat Totem for looks and performance. Beautiful wood veneers, and to my ears the best sounding speaker I've heard for the price. Hop on their website and take a look, the Totem Rokk may just what you're looking for (~$500). Jeff
Phil, take a listen to the Vienna Acoustic Haydn's. I'm sure she won't complain about the Rosewood finish.
My wife misses the Totem 1s I had and they sound great if you have the right amp. Can be used fairly close to the wall.
If your budget is around 2K, try the Totem Mani-2. They can
be bought second hand thru audiogon in that price range. I replaced a pair of Linn AV-5140, which is also a beautiful
speaker, with the Mani-2. My girlfriend likes the Mani-2 mahogany fininsh and small size, I just love the sound, the bass is incredible.
In the looks department I would look at the B&W 805 Nautilus or the Sonus Faber speakers. I prefer the sound of the latter but the looks of either are impressive.
