Downsizing and child proofing


It seemed inevitable, and it has come to pass. My Linkwitz Orion's have been deemed "unsafe" and are to be banished to storage for the next two rambunctious toddle years (quite honestly there i nothing i would not happily give up).
But this does leave the question of what in the interim to replace the Orion's with.
The speakers need to be wall mount monitors and will be driven by my current gear (Bel Canto Pre and ATI 6012 amp).
Any recommendations for diminutive, clean (modern looking) wall mount monitors that produce crisp quick sound?
Thanks

After looking at the pictures of your systems, the Gallo Reference Strada's will fit in perfectly. They match your decor and are able to be mounted on a wall. I have a pair in my office mounted up on the wall. I drive them with a pair of Red Dragon Amp-1's (think Bel Canto M-300). Source in loss-less files on my computer to a MHDT Labs Constantine DAC. The bottom end is filled in with a 7.75" squared (6.5" driver) custom sub. They sound really good; not as good as my Martin Logan Summit X, but damn good for the price.
If you really want something good and inexpensive, look at the ERA D4's. You could pick a pair used for around $300-400. If you get them in black they should fit in with your decor. Also, the come with a basic wall bracket. In my office, the Strada's replaced the D4's. The D4's have lots of detail but are not bright. In addition, they have a nice top to bottom balance when wall mounted.

As far as the Gallo Diva's go, your only going to get so much out of a 3" full range driver.
