My wife listened to B&W 805s, Linn Ninkas, and Linn AV5140s. We ended up with the 5140s -- without the grills -- even though they were the largest pair she listened to. Reasons: Paul Simon & The Matrix both sound wonderful on them; although they're big, they're pretty attractive (cherry finish)... She actually encouraged buying them, said she was trying to break my Protestant-guilt upbringing...
