Best Small Floorstanding Speaker under $2K


What is everyone's opinion? 

I really like the idea of Zu's Omen and Soul but they do seem a little bigger than I would like.

I am not a bass-head so I don't need the deeper, stronger, bass that a larger speaker provides.

I love the simplicity of having a couple of tower speakers as opposed to a 2.1 setup.

Some of the suggestions are over 2k. a Pair of Vienna Mozart Grands are in you price range used. I think your amp would be a good match. 

I just got a used pair with with a 90 watt high current solid state amp and they are very nice. A musical speaker that can be warm to just a touch of warmth depending on room, source and amplification. The have a pretty deep bass that tends to be rounder with bloom than a tight pinpoint bass. There is a slight sweetness in the mid range that is very pleasant. A speaker that you can listen to all day. 

Some have suggested Spatial speakers. They are indeed very good. I chose the Mozarts over them (M1) in demo with the same amplification. Both sound stage and image like champs. The Spatial would be more neutral with a tighter bass but not as deep.  I would warn you that due to the High Efficiency of the spatial's could be a problem with the wrong preamp or integrated. If there is noise you will hear it in the Spatial speakers. Also if your gain in preamp is too high you may end up with a small range of movement on the volume pot before reaching very high volume levels.
