Anyway, what are the best "sleek" speakers that don't need much floor
space?

The Magneplanar 1.6 are tall but only 19" wide and 2" deep.

But they need about 1.5 metres of space behind them!

And a Krell to drive them?

Most speakers sound better if not placed adjacent to walls. This does *not*
mean they have to be approximately 4.5 to 5 feet (1.5 meters) out from the back
wall. I have several friends that run Magneplanar with good results when
ploaced no more than 2-3 feet from the back wall. Also, a few of them use tube
amplifiers (and not huge ones) with excellent results (e.g. a conrad johnson
Premier 11A at 70 watts/channel). Of course, the power requirements will alao
be dependent upon listening levels, types of music played, and the listening
room acoustics.
