That's actually "Barenaked Ladies", even though they abbreviate it as BNL.Bare naked Ladies?
She's got my pick, although there are many others that could be slotted in.Joni, obvs.
also @John… I’ll put my money on Rush.
I think the very early speakers had the wide side pointing forwards...

However, given this was a volume issue for the fellow, I'll put my money on Rush.
I heard the Forte IV last weekend, and it didn't satisfy me. It's creation of scale was impressive, and it was astonishingly fast, but there was a coloration in the midrange that didn't sit well with me. Therefore, I'm pretty darn sure the Heresy wouldn't satisfy.****ed Up or Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
If Cornwalls are too big, how about some Heresys? A pair of nice lls used to run less than $500 but probably double that now due to the popularity of classic Klipsh speakers. Nice thing is you will be able to sell them for no loss if you don't like them.
Or get what I replaced my Heresys with:

The Heresy is not perfect but a great all-rounder IMO (unlike a lot of “hi-fi” speakers). The NS1000Ms are better top to bottom and really come alive with a big solid state amp. I’m running them with a Ayre. Those beryllium drivers are something special but I would imagine they’d cost a fortune to make today.I heard the Forte IV last weekend, and it didn't satisfy me.

As for the NS1000, it's an interesting idea, but I'm not quite ready to go that route.
I think when trying to discern if a speaker has a heap of colouration, or is more reasonably balanced, a plot can give an indication.
