Does this speaker exist?

Looking for ideas. Here's the wishlist:

- Small footprint, either standmount or small floorstander (<40”)
- For listening at normal distances (not nearfield, or not only nearfield)
- Comes alive at low volume (let's say that at least it doesn’t need to be cranked to come alive)
- Musically versatile
- State of the art tonality, truth of timber
- Superb treble
- Gobs of refinement (think 1080p or 4K vs. 420, or very high thread count egyptian cotton vs. Ramada Inn)
- Not important: large soundstage, disappearing act, bottom octave, fill the room
- I actually prefer a small soundstage -- a small but open widow to the performance

Drubin,
Yes! A practically countless number of speakers fit your criteria, optimum set-up and placement is essential so the loudspeakers interact (mate and play) with your room.
Please purchase Jim Smith "Get Better Sound" I recommend the Book and DVD, a wealth of knowledge for cheap.
Even a $30K pair of speakers can sound "not correct" and even "bad" if not set-up for optimum room placement (almost sold mine), a well designed inexpensive pair can sound magical, musical, correct and Great! leaving you not wanting for more (I have done this with a $500.00 pair).
Please do yourself a favor: get the book and DVD.
Jim C. PS: Before you spend a lot of $$$.
