Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti
The speakers look fine in your room.  Plenty of space around them.  I would ignore everyone and enjoy.  Tell your wife it will cost 40K to get the same sound.  That should change her mind fast.   
Accuphase Line Conditioner PS1250 owners please comment on what power cord you are using
Doesn’t Accuphase have their own line of high end cords?  
Magico A3 replacement

LP storage advice please?
