I know need to comment.If your only problem is your wife complaining about you having something too big...
The real question is how do they sound?
Everyone at work made fun of my M Audoo monitors on my desktop at work.They're insanely good for their intended use. I don't do critical listening so they're primarily used for gaming and wasting time on YouTube. Rarely I'll watch a show or sports event there.
The basic demands are why I didn't want to spend money for a second set of small passive speakers.

You forget where you're posting.Now I hate the small ones and can't stop thinking that I need a strategy to replace them even though they're way more than capable enough for their assignment.
