…the Adam’s are probably the best in terms of bang-for-buck, and are relatively discrete looking as far as speakers go. If its the size of them that’s problematic, you might need to consider something different as the 5’s are the smallest in that range I think? the AX series do a 3″ but will be a fair bit more expensive.
Stands are generally fucking ugly and take up a fair bit of room space… as baggers suggested would it help to get them up to ear height and wall-mounted? You could even chase wires into the wall to take them look tidier if you can be arsed?
