Large monitor/small floorstander suggestions?


I am considering a change in speakers and would appreciate some nominations in this category. I am trying to find something that I can shelf mount (on very sturdy shelves capable of holding 75+ pounds easily) that can convey the impact and scale more typical of floorstanders. Some other parameters:
- <$1k used
- Relatively small "footprint" of around 15"d x 9"w or less.
- Nice woodwork/high WAF
- Tolerant of placement very close to the back wall (rear port is probably out).

I am using a Consonance B2000x integrated, around 125 wpc/8ohms so I think power probably will not be an issue for this category of speaker.
My listening preferences are a lively and detailed presentation, soundstaging is also a priority.
I listen to a very wide variety of music, any suggestions appreciated.

If you can find them used, you may want to try the Consonance Eric-3 floorstanders... Very slim and shallow profile makes them take up no more space than a standmount. Quite impressive sound... They go for under 2K new, so I would figure 1K used would be about right...

New, you should check out the Consonance Eric-1s at just under 1K... They are my favorite standmounts in the 1K and below range... *Very* impressive sound coming from these inexpensive speakers...
