Compact Tower Opinions

Hi folks...I'm in the market for some compact floorstanding speakers...and within my budget, have narrowed it down to Monitor Audio Silver 200 or 300 or possibly Totem Forest or Sky.  I can get good deals on either of those brands. Never owned either brand, and my use is more casual, but I still want something cool. I downsized from golden Ear Triton V's which were great...but want something a little more compact. Currently, I have the Parasound Integrated 200...which I am really liking, but can add outboard amp if needed. Thoughts?

Thanks for the input...much appreciated. I was thinking that the Forests could be real keepers..if one is willing to work with them.

Yup...they are by no means perfect, but they do make "music"!
One other caveat I meant to include in the earlier post...if you want to peel paint with sound volume, enjoy LOUD rock at live concert levels (100db+?), these probably ain’t gonna be the ones. Don’t get me wrong, they can play loudly just fine, but I don’t think they sound that good when pushed much above, say, mid-90s dB as an average listening volume.

Lol...I'm getting older...and loud stuff isn't tolerated well at my house anyway.
