Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti

I've had these early prototype Volti speakers I bought from Greg  8-10 years ago, but I  am set up in the living room with these large speakers . Family and friends always complain about the size, and I just ignore them.  Lately, my wife who agreed to the purchase has been grumbling about their size. 

I've been considering going to a more normal sized speaker, but want to keep most of Volti horn sound. I drag in my Joseph Audio RM25xl speakers and after a few days, I  drag the Volti's back in.

Using Atma-Sphere D amps and Mp3 preamp. Bricasti dac and Elrod cables. I stuck an old picture in systems so you get the idea of the scale. I will get new pictures later and finish system. 

I know it's unlikely, but maybe one of you can think of something.

They look great, and a very reasonable scale. I was expecting something, totally different by your description.

I added a picture of the room and speakers as they currently look. Not the same as the original setup. 

I did find some speakers to give a try as replacements until we build a room or move.

Tad Evolution 1tx will be here late this week. I'm going to keep my Volti's just in case.

I suspect that the new Volti Lucera which are a lot smaller might very well fit the bill.

You can't replicate the unique thrill of large horns with small crap. Pack up and relocate yourself to the basement. Get even larger speakers and live gleefully in the basement space. Get some wimpy lil  bluetooth/lifestyle product for the living room to keep family/friends at ease.
