I would take a look at the Naim Unity Atom. Seems like it ticks all your boxes. I'm considering one myself.  
Revel Performa 206, PSB T-2, Focal Aria 936: Which offers the best overall sound?
I recently heard the Focal 936 at a local dealer. Really nice from the mids on down but had no treble/ lacked detail. Very smooth and musical speaker. It was paired with a Naim Uniti Atom. Hotel California from Hell Freezes Over was jaw dropping. ... 
Songs for Speaker Placement
I don't know if this will help you in setting up soundstage and imaging but, if you put on Stevie Ray Vaugn - "Tin Pan Alley." I've never heard a track with a wider soundstage. Absolutely cavernous!!!

@slash21 "reducing speaker distance apart increases mid bass."Is this true in general? I've never heard that before.

@mr_m what amplification are you using with your Treo's?

If attending Capital Audiofest 2018, can you provide your review of the Ohm F-5015s
@michiganbuckeye Why not contact Dale Harder at HHR Exotic Speakers and see if he can repair/ replace your Ohm F drivers? My friend has a set of Dale's TLS-1's based on the original Ohm F and they sound incredible. My understanding is that no one ...

Congrats on your new speaks!!! You're in good hands with John and the good folks over at Ohm. 
Looking for speaker recommendations
I own the Vandy 2ce Sig II's and have heard the Ohm 1000s. In my opinion, the Vandy's are at times enthralling and other times lackluster. It all depends on the source material. If you throw a reference CD at them eg, Fleetwood Mac-Rumors, Steely ... 
Looking for speaker recommendations
+1 on the Ohm's. I would call John Strohbeen (Ohm's president) and see what model they recommend. I would think the Ohm Walsh Tall 2000 would work in that size space. They have plenty of beautiful finishes. They literally sound great anywhere in t...
