Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti

I've had these early prototype Volti speakers I bought from Greg  8-10 years ago, but I  am set up in the living room with these large speakers . Family and friends always complain about the size, and I just ignore them.  Lately, my wife who agreed to the purchase has been grumbling about their size. 

I've been considering going to a more normal sized speaker, but want to keep most of Volti horn sound. I drag in my Joseph Audio RM25xl speakers and after a few days, I  drag the Volti's back in.

Using Atma-Sphere D amps and Mp3 preamp. Bricasti dac and Elrod cables. I stuck an old picture in systems so you get the idea of the scale. I will get new pictures later and finish system. 

I know it's unlikely, but maybe one of you can think of something.

You can't replicate the unique thrill of large horns with small crap. Pack up and relocate yourself to the basement. Get even larger speakers and live gleefully in the basement space. Get some wimpy lil  bluetooth/lifestyle product for the living room to keep family/friends at ease.

I’m waiting on some TAD Evolution one speakers to show up. They may be in this week.

The e1tx tad is one of the speakers I have.... You shouldn’t be having any WAF issues with it in a living room, unless your spouse is super picky, i.e., it is a good looking speaker to many eyes. However, a 300b is not gonna cut it for the Tad. I keep it on a luxman m900u, Technics r1000, etc. It doesn’t have to get crazy, but, you will need a higher caliber amp to do justice to it.
