  Need Speakers at least 4 feet high
Very disturbing what wives can do - first it was move them closer to the wall - did so, at significant cost of soundstaging and imaging - next, I come home and there is that huge, upholstered chair that she is crazy about, the size of the Whire House, completely obscuring the speaker! "What's the problem"? She asks, get higher speakers, then!!" So, I need your help. To do just that. I cant even see the right speaker now. The house-sized chair is planted right in front of the right speaker! Her revenge.
Budget - about $10-12K, must have coherence of Kharma 3.2 Enigmas, which they will replace. (And which some lucky soul with a kinder wife can buy:) Must image 2 ft from front wall, 8 ft apart, room size, 23' X 16 ft X high A type ceiling. System: EMM CDSD/DCC2, Sota Cosmos V, EAR 324, AS MP-1, AS MA 2.2,(200 WPC, Class A, OTL - likes 8 ohm inpedance) PAD Dominus S/C.
This is a serious request of y'all, so please, despite your suggestions of dumping the chair and the wife, let me know if there are any speakers out there that I should look at.
Thanks.

It's hard to insist on my rights when I've used 80% of the "furniture" budget to finance 3 Stereo systems, including my own basement system that she's not even allowed to enter! She hates the coffin, and everything else, so in return, I said re-furnish the Family room if you want - she wanted - and this is the result. She outsmarted me, as is usually the case with that X gene...........so my rights are used up, Sc53! Furthermore, the couch and chairs were made to order and took 6 months to make. She aint giving them up. Anyway, I want Speaker suggestions, not husband rights advice:):)! I certainly wouldn't be as generous as she has been if she had such an imbecilic hobby as we all have.
