Budget floorstading with a good waf.... Help

Q #1: What comprises the rest of your system? System synergy matters - big time. Soliciting random, ad hoc and blind suggestions will only get you heavily biased personal value judgements at best; with no assurances that they will even work with your system.

(2) what is your budget?

Every time I hear a Focal I'm struck with how clear they are .

As posted on another thread, I just purchased a pair of Larsen 6s after seeing the brand at the Newport audio show last weekend. They are placed directly up against the long wall in our living room, and I absolutely love the sound they make. These are the only speakers I have purchased in the last twenty five years that my wife actually approved.

What is your wife's esthetic sense, and what are your musical preferences? You must first find speaker candidates that satisfy both of these requirements.

What speakers does your wife like based on looks, and what does she dislike? Of the ones she likes, are there any that sound the way you want them to, especially on the music you prefer?

I've seen several in person. Pictures do not do them justice. They are visually stunning.
