I just now asked my spouse about whether or not my new piano black DSP9s, replacing 5200SE, have changed how our living room looks/feels to her. She says that she never wanted to have either model visible, but that the 9s don’t significantly change the room. They are only a few inches taller.

We still have them in a home theater L-C-R and I still love the sound, especially for the $$. A bargain for less than $10k.
