Does it / Do they pass the wife test? Speakers

I am looking for some speakers that can pass the preverbial wife test(if there is such a thing). I had some kef 104/2's (that I really liked by the way) that were "too big". Are there some great sounding monitors/speakers that would fit in the "approved Category"?. Used or new!

My wife likes her Triangle Titus's, also, I haven't yet met a lady who does not like our Martin Logan SL3's, FWIW.

Used to have the same problem until I got a room dedicated to audio. But while my stuff was in the living room I found speakers with a sloped appearance satisfied the wife. Thiel 1.5s and Meadowlark Kestrels were her favorites. Not too large and the slope makes them seem smaller than they are.
She's a good wife though because when we were negotiating with builders for a new home, she would always ask about dedicated A/C lines for my listening room.
