smaller speaker suggestions

As many of you know one of the keys to a happy marriage is having the ability to say "yes dear".
I've been "asked" to downsize the size of speakers from the current Spendor SP1/2's (24t x 12w x 12d) to ?
The room is 13 feet wide by 16 feet.
Amp: Musical Fidelity A308cr with a Audio Research LS15 pre.
Musical taste - very eclectic (no head banging/rap/opera)
Speaker attribute - along the lines of the Spendor which I feel is best described as "musical".
Limited to a spacing of no more than two feet off the wall.
Speakers will reside on the narrow wall.
Now I realize it will be my ears that are the deciding factor as to what is purchased however I'd like some suggestions from those out in cyberspace that have already gone through the trials and tribulations of choosing a smaller speaker.
3k a pair is the upper spending limit.
Thanks in advance for any and all insightful responses.

Small speakers would always need stands, which dwarf the size of the speakers anyway. Have you come up with a solution to that first?
You have enough power for Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor, but those might stretch your budget (used).
If you come across Red Rose "Ruby" then you ought to give them a try as well. Both sets offer an extended and dynamic sound, including a respectable bass response.
My vote goes for the great look of the Cremona, unless it's still too big...
