Fun, small footprint, floor standers

Do you think he is even looking at this thread any more??

If you mean the OP, he hasn't weighed in once since starting the thread.

Anyway...Golden Ear Triton 7's, Silverline Prelude (or pluses) and PSB T-6 or T-2.

The Quad 23L Classic is also a sweet, musical speaker. About 36.4"h x 9"w x 12.4"d.

I appreciate the suggestions. Seems like the Silverlines are worth a look.

As an aside, it's interesting to me that the regular Prelude is unique in the Silverline speaker lineup...the 3.75" metal woofers don't show up in anything else they make, the metal tweeter with its screen and rubber deflection pad thing doesn't either...a clean, no screws visable front is also cool, and somewhat rare...the new Prelude Plus, although certain to sound fine, seems simply like another pile of bolted-on drivers in a skinny veneered box waiting for somebody to poke the tweeter. How hard would it have been to use a magnet attached grill?

I went with the Monitor Audio RX6. I had the Silver 5i's...just loved 'em; so, I took a shot on the RX6. Lovely mids. I have to give these guys credit for engineering a great product.

Good call. Those are nicely transparent, neutral, and detailed with good bass extension while being very easy to listen to.
