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.

Well,  I guess that I really don't expect you to bite on these, but I'd be doing a dis service not to mention them.... These are a DIY speaker. They were designed by Jay Kim.  I have built a design of his.  Jay has won many design competitions and his stuff regularly beats out $10,000 retail speakers.... This design is first rate.  It uses very good parts, it has very low distortion drivers, it will produce a surprising amount of bass and this set is voiced to be smooth and accurate with excellent detail.... You guys that know me, Know that I'm a straight shooter.  I have no idea who this ebay seller is,  but for anyone that has a $2000 budget,  these are a no brainer.  They will Like 100 watts per channel or more,  they are an easy to handle 4 ohm load. They are reasonably well impedance compensated and the tweeter has a natural peak that has been dealt with, they are near ruler flat.... phasing is also quite good on these, many tube amps with decent power could drive them .  I don't know the seller in any way shape or form... I've seen these speakers since Jay introduced them in 2008. DIY parts cost alone is over $1000 without this persons labor.  I've considered building them in the past and have looked deeply into the parts selection and crossover design...
