Thanks for this, I’m fairly sure it’s not something that’s solvable too. Physics and that. Coaxial is a good one to look at, KEF are into that right now and they’ve got a dealer near me where I can have a listen. Still not sure if they’ve got small enough boxes.
B&W 707 are spot on size-wise and at £800 I would expect a lot of excitement, I’d like to give those a listen but fuck knows how I’d pass that as good use of the household savings.

I couldn't solve the problem myself. The smallest speakers I could stand to live with long term are still much bigger than you currently have. The Q Acoustic 3020i are pretty decent, I have a pair in my kitchen but they're bigger than either of the other 2 you have.
Maybe some kind of coaxial speaker would be better. I've been meaning to look into them and I know a few people on here have gone a long way in that direction but the boxes seem to end up being big to get the bass response.
In my partners kitchen we have a couple of Libratone and they make a decent job of it while being compact. They are not high fidelity but still a pleasure.
I sold 2 pairs of B&O cx 100, they were very nice in a b&o kind of way. The drivers usually need refoaming though.
