Don't know what your domestic arrangements are, but an open baffle might be worth trying. If you want much bass, the baffles will have to be fairly large, and placement in the room is critical, so they aren't for people in small rooms or decor obsessed partners. On the positive side, cats will have a hard time attacking the drivers if the drivers are a few feet off the ground, which you probably want to do so the necessarily rather narrow treble dispersion isn't a problem.
