Speaker Upgrade Help Please

Again, thanks all for the responses.

The wifey prefers wood Cherry finish, as it matches other stuff like my REL B1 and furniture. The big black fronts of the Vandy's won't go over, nor will some 9 foot metal and black monstrosity.

So, basically I'm looking for Cherry wood finish, with relatively small footprint that moves a lot of air and is forgiving on placement. I know it's pretty specific.

I've never heard Totem Forest, but not sure if that's a lateral move from the Dyn Focus 220s.

Any thoughts on PSB Synchrony 1?

ProAc sounds interesting, and I loved Dali, but their depth at almost 20" and recommendation of 2 feet from the back wall would put the speakers out into the middle of the room.

Although I like Dynaudio, I'm curious to try something else. I loved Naim and Dali pairing for classical, but it didn't kick hard enough for the rock and jazz that I enjoy.

Are there corners? You can have my mint Allison 3's that are 30 years old but till unsurpassed in corners and are pure wood:)

Here are rare speakers that are not monitors and designed for near wall placement:

I think the Forest may indeed be a lateral move. PBN Montana makes some very nice speakers with furniture grade cabinets. They wouldn't be my first choice for sonics, but it looks like that is taking a back seat in your application.

With your REL B1 a monitor will work well. I personally feel that monitors do a better job of projecting sound stage. I use a pair of Sonus faber Cremona Auditor Ms in my 12 X 18 X 12 room with a REL B1 and they fill the room nicely. If I were to upgrade my speakers I would keep my REL B1 and go with the Sf Guaneri Mementos.
