chrisr- You are going to have trouble getting something smaller that Vandys that does not require a sub. Laws of physics are a bitch ;-). At the very least, it is going to require gobs of power.
Bass driven floorstanders?
I am in search of floorstanders that can do bass without sub... Beside totem sttaf, do you see anything else between 1k and $2k? I have had vandersteen 2ce, great, but they happened to be too large for the room. Thx for suggestions!
