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.

stevecham is on to something.  If I had not sat with John Rutan at Audio Connection in Verona, NJ and listened to the Vandy 1s there, as a 30 year owner of larger Vandys, I would never have believed the musical truth the model 1 can reveal.  It was pretty stunning as I had never appreciated the beauty those speakers produce.  We listened to several other speakers that day all of which had unmistakable charms.  But what stayed with me were what I heard from the model 1s.
