Since you started at Best Buy I suspect that you are not ready to pay audiophile prices and even if you are, it is likely that there are no high-end shops near you. With those assumptions (which both might be wrong!) I went to the Best Buy website to see if anything might be suitable. Assuming that you don't need to play very loudly, here are my recommendations:
Polk Audio T15
Klipsch R-15M (will play louder than most)
Klipsch R-14M (ditto)
Boston Acoustics A25
Boston Acoustics A26
JBL Arena B15
Wharfed ale Diamon WHD210BLK
Yamaha NS6490
Derwin Vega XLS-6
If you want to keep the bucks low, give the Dynex and BIC, MTX and Insignia a listen. If you need more volume an active subwoofer will help.

I'm in Chicago - high end audio shops all around me. Budget is the problem. We have a good income but no way will more than $250 be spent on this & that's why I started at Best Buy. Honestly I've never thought much of that store, just to their poor customer service if nothing else, but there's times when it works.
Still, thanks MUCH for your suggestions. I will check it out at least.
The Gallo Micro se is the size of a orange if that's small enough for her, er um, I meant you.
Though as others here have eluded to; How in the hell is she going to put up with the Scott 299 if she won't abide a medium pair of speakers?
I have heard the Gallo Micros (The Venetian, CES 2013) and they are amazing. They are also within your budget.
I have included a link to a CNET review.

I know what you mean about having a good income, but still having not much money to spend. That is what's keeping me shopping at the thrift stores. It is not just audio equipment and media. Quite a few of what I listed are in you price range. Good luck!

Yeah, it's called being a father! And owning a home from 1903 that needs regular maintenance (although overall, I think it's better built than ma good portion of what's on the market today).
