Small Single Driver Speakers - Help

I own and completely enjoy the 47 Labs Lens speaker. I'm designing a couple of systems for different rooms, but 47 Labs doesn't make the Lens anymore.

Please help me find a speaker that:

1. Sounds like the Lens.

2. Roughly the same size of a small monitor. I will place them on stands, but I'm open to floor-standers, if they are a small footprint. (Like the Totem Arro.)

3. I'll be using the 47 Labs Shigaraki amplifier, as well as other class-T designs. I want to keep playing around with low wattage, affordable solid state and tube amps. I don't listen to music loud that much, and when I do, my current Shigaraki system does just fine.

4. I'm willing to pay for a high quality fit & finish. Nothing ugly or weird. The simpler, the better.

I am a music listener. I don't care about technical specifications. I like my foot to tab and to have a big grin on my face when I listen to music. Tap, tap, tap, tap....

Thank YOU very much for reading....

I go along with Dark in that I haven't heard the 47 lab lens, but I do own Omega XRS3 hemp. Now, I believe, they are called the XRS5. They are a nice match with SET and lower power ss amps. Plus, they have a fantastic finish that Louis will customize if you'd like. These fit "the simpler the better" stipulation, but they are nearly a foot wide so not as slim as some.

A friend who is not a SET and single driver devotee, heard the new Acoustic Technologies classic series speaker and was smitten. 3" single driver in a narrow and tall cabinet that looks quite a bit like the Arros I used to have. Nice looking speakers!
