What form factor is he looking at what style of the room? I had to do the same thing for a living area and went with the Aventgarde Zero XD in white and have a small Simaudio streamer sitting behind one. This cleared the clutter and just have two power cables from speakers into wall. They are very cool looking almost like sculpture/art versus large drivers and wood drawing attention. They have the speed of electrostats and the bass of regular cones. They fill up a 30 x 40 room for me no sub. I used to have Magico, Magneplanar, TAD, etc so am pretty picky.

PS I am selling my home in Dallas and downsizing so am getting ready to list mine for sale. I bought them new from AD for about 24k. About 100 hours on them. Going to list them for less than half.
