I've been living happily with my 2 way SP Techs for 8-9 years. My wife has enjoyed the sound, but always hated the looks... including the stands. Visually, my wife would like smaller speakers including smaller stands. I've never used a sub, but if I go smaller, it's a must. It would likely be a powered sub at that....maybe downfiring.
So assuming I don't get killed with selling my SP Techs, what are some bang for the buck 2 ways that might work for me? i listen to rock, folk, vocals, especially female, orchestral but not much classical. I enjoy a detailed, but not analytical sound. The Uber has been a huge help in providing more detail and taking the edge off.
Ive heard good things about Danny Ritchie's speakers, but I'm not into building kits. I don't have the skill set to cut wood and build cabinets. Due to $$ constraints, I'd probably purchase used. I'd also appreciate comments about subs. I would be using only one in keeping with the idea of maintaining a small footprint

PS forgot to mention SP Techs are 12x21x16
