Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad)

Ok, building new house wife killed my stereo ambitions with an awful built in tv console cabinet.  Room is large, there is Sonos in the ceiling and outdoor area so that’s fine for background.  She sold my B&W 802s when we moved but thinks the McIntosh stuff looks cool so that can stay.  MA352 int amp and a mt5 turntable.  I thought there was room for floor standing speakers next to the built in but sadly there isn’t room.  I can put a sub in, budget is whatever, but I don’t want want to turn 20k Focals into $4000 speakers buried on a bookshelf.  Any suggestions?  Thanks, Mark

She sold your speakers? You need a pair of something alright, but it's not speakers.

There's so much discussion about the state of High End audio and the problems that plague it, from the state of the economy to changes in lifestyle, but I think that the biggest single enemy of the High End is women.

I think that I was way too hard on the OP. as well as presumptive. Nothing is black and white, and marriages are give and take as I know well.

ozzy, you are very lucky as I am to have an understanding spouse concerning audio, but I think that it's the exception.
