If boxiness is the enemy, Quad ESL 57s might be worth a go. Granted they are a bit on the wide side, but Alan Firebottle suspends his from the ceiling, and they sound great

Incredible imaging and soundstage, superb transparency and great sound from rfc impulse taus. If you Google YouTube you can hear mine. Many of the h6 have now had the rfc treatment. Well worth buying if you can
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

From what I've heard (H2 and H6) I don't think they'd improve your situation.

The ones I heard were. If all depends on synergy I'm sure as always, but it shows they can do. From what you have said you want something a little V shaped if anything, which these are not.
