Sonus Faber Maxima Amator without the fancy

Aesthetics?  Love the sound but want to see if there’s something just like it without the fancy leather, marble stand and walnut casings.  I’m really new to this and shopping for speakers for my 11x22 space at home.  Tried these out in a store and they’re amazing but don’t care about t he fancy design.  Would love some advice!  Want to make it sound like the band is basically in my room, would love some pointers

Also do I really need acoustic panels for the walls?  Hardwood floor with some carpet, walls are plaster

Speakers on long wall or short wall?

Short wall, long wall isn’t going to work

I misread that! Short wall in a long room is good IMO. Have you heard anything other than the Sonus? They are just one flavor I would look around. To my ear Usher sounds superior to Sonus for every price range if you like that kind of sound. Dynaudio similarish also to my ears. 
 

I would go bigger. 3 way and sit back 15ft or so.
