Harbeth sound with high wife acceptance factor?

I fell in love today with the Harbeth C7s.

Unfortunately, my wife did not.

She doesn't like speakers on stands, she doesn't like big speakers. But she did like the sound ;-)

Any suggestions for a small floorstander with Harbeth sound and better looks? We listened to the Dali Mentor 6 - the looks were great, the sounds was good, but it was just not as musical as the Harbeth.

Budget is around $3,000 - any suggestions?

Mapman thanks for adding to my suggestion as I have been thinking of them for myself.
I do normally run tubes but I have a pair of jeff roland model 6 monoblocks;any idea how those may match with the ohm's?

Nos substitute for listening. All were good options. Have only heard great things about Devore.

Rleff, I think the Rowland amp is a very good match for OHM as well as many others.

This is a funny thread, I have never allowed a wife or any woman for that matter to approve what I buy in audio, If they ever tried that, its, don't let the door hit you in the hind-side, LOl!, I have never had a woman tell me what she approves of in audio, other than, If she likes the sound or not, wow!, I feel bad for all of you!
