Glad to see this thread. Ironically, Im living it right now.

The wife recently requested I get rid of my B&W 301s and LM1s.
She said the 301s are big black boxes on black stands and they clash
with the decor!

Her idea of form is the Bose Acoustimass white cubes!
Although I agree that they are closer to invisible... I just can't get myself to go there.

I tried my B&W LM1s as fronts but they were lacking.

IF you were in my situation, what setup would you recommend to a poor soul like myself? They can't be black or big.
