reference 3a decapos.. will be available in a couple of months in different wood veneers.Righteous sound at livable cost.

..... same ProAC sound as the 1.5's that you have.

I am very surprised that no one mentionned the undisputed champion in the category. It's really a no-brainer when you consider the sound, build quality and sexy looks that is a departure from all the still-good-looking-but still-a -square box speakers mentionned above...and the winnier is...

Any of the Sonus Faber Speakers, and especially in the walnut finish. Exquisite Italian styling and cabinetry, honest sound. Game over.

Try the Usher x-719's w/wood side panels and high gloss piano black finish or matte black top. Also the all wood RW-729's cabinet construct in birch is spectacular as well.

And if you think the speakers are gorgeous, wait till she sees the stands they rest on! www.usheraudio.com

PS They sound terrific too!!

Sonus Fabers were the only speakers I could get past the decorator and purchasing (wife). You can usually find the matching (iron and walnut side strips) fixed height stands on here for $200ish. Small enough to not stand out too much, but make very nice sound with good equipment. They don't appear to be as large as they actually are. I guess the trapezoid profile and sculpted sides helps hide the size a bit. We shopped for the Concertinos, but after listening decided on the Concertos which are a shade larger.
