Others to think about are the Boenicke W5 at £2,400 though it might be difficult to get a listen to them. I doubt they are SAM'ed.
You could also check out Andrew Jones' designs now he has moved from the £££££ price of the gear of his previous TAD employer to the £ price of the gear of his new Elac employer. Reviews of his first designs - B5 and B6 - have been very good.
I'm using Magico Q1s in, like you, a quite confined space though, of you know, these are pretty expensive.
I have just had a look at the Boenicke website because I'd not heard of these before. The larger designs are transmission line designs but I'm not sure about the small W5 model. Midland Audio Exchange happen to be one of the closer dealers to me, so I might actually get to listen to these and possibly the Q1's as well! The latter would require remortgaging of the house unfortunately.
