2-ways that are close to 3-ways

I primairily use my 2-ways for 2ch listening, which are Meadowlark Swallows or Buggtussel Circas. I do have a pair of Klipsch Chorus II's for 3-ways, so I don't need a pair of 3-ways.

What I'm wondering is, is there a 2-way that is close to a 3-way while not being as big? I would like to have 3-way (fuller across the frequency) sound while having something in the size of a 2-way footprint.

A little about my system:
- EAD CDP
- Audio Mirror/TRL modified DAC
- Tube Technology Tube Preamp
- Promitheus Transformer Buffer between preamp and amp
- Amps rotate between: 12w SET, 12w PP, 65w chip, 130w ICE-based

Room is 15W X 20L X 8H

I'm really happy with everything, I just feel like my current 2-ways are my limitation when I use my 2-ways. For those asking the question of why don't I just use my 3-ways, it's because they're hard to move at 90+lbs and I don't to move them eveytime I want to listen. I have thought about just building platforms with casters in the future.

Jax2 – I too am a big fan of the SET + horns. I really wanted to buy the Galante’s that are listed on A’gon right now but couldn’t afford them unless I sold a couple of things. Your insight as to options is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

Thanks to the other members as well for your recommendations as potential options.

Jaybo - thanks. I do love both of my 2-way TL bookshelf size speakers. Just wish that I could get closer to the fuller sound of the Chorus II's without the size.

It may just require trying one of the recommended speakers: Coincident, Sonist, or Vandersteen.

Thanks again to all for your helpful advice and comments.
