Default Any great unknown speaker brands?

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?

Possibly!
It's odd, I used to have a pair of the small SMGb models, and I couldn't
drive these with my Arcam 8P. Now you may say, 'not surprisingly', but
my much larger MG2.5R panels were quite happy when driven by the 8P.
(Not to huge levels of course, but the SMGb weren't happy even at lower
levels.) The SMGb were OK with a homemade MOSFET o/p amp.
