May I recommend a pair of Aerial 5B speakers? They're an excellent value and make beautiful music. While they're not super efficient, they're not difficult to drive either. And they work very well is both small and large rooms.
Speaker recommendation for married couple
I am the guy who opened the thread "Harbeth Love". Unfortunately, wife didn't like them at all. She listened to ATC, nope. Spendor? Nope. I do trust her ears too but we need speakers that we both like. I remember her liking this Sonus Faber speakers (can't recall the model but I know newer Fabers). She also likes KEF LS50 which I find good but not outstanding. Any help for this married couple?:)
