smaller speaker suggestions

As many of you know one of the keys to a happy marriage is having the ability to say "yes dear".
I've been "asked" to downsize the size of speakers from the current Spendor SP1/2's (24t x 12w x 12d) to ?
The room is 13 feet wide by 16 feet.
Amp: Musical Fidelity A308cr with a Audio Research LS15 pre.
Musical taste - very eclectic (no head banging/rap/opera)
Speaker attribute - along the lines of the Spendor which I feel is best described as "musical".
Limited to a spacing of no more than two feet off the wall.
Speakers will reside on the narrow wall.
Now I realize it will be my ears that are the deciding factor as to what is purchased however I'd like some suggestions from those out in cyberspace that have already gone through the trials and tribulations of choosing a smaller speaker.
3k a pair is the upper spending limit.
Thanks in advance for any and all insightful responses.

I have owned many speakers over the years but only two have recvd my wife's approval. They are Thiel 1.5s and Meadowlark Audio Kestrel Hot Rods. If you are familiar with these speakers, you will notice they have a similar appearance with the sloped baffle. This makes them much less visually imposing in a room. Although they have similar appearance, the sound of the two speakers couldn't be more different. I suggest looking at small towers with similar appearance but the listening is up to you.
Good luck.
