Moderate floorstanders for medium room

I am thinking about switching from monitors on stands to floor standers.
Currently have Parasound amp& pre @ 75W per side.
Room is Kitchen/Family room- about 16 x 32.

The speakers that I think I want would be small two way floor speakers that would be full range, cost less than $2000 and have quality real wood cabinets.

The speakers that I have most enjoyed have been ones with paper/fiber cones.

I listen to varied music, mostly blues based rock + classical & jazz.

Any recommendations?

Your room is pretty large, so I'd consider a subwoofer for extended bass response. The 12" SVS is app $650, and I'd also add a controller (I use the Velodyne SMS-1 at app $500) for best integration. The remaining $850 can buy some excellent smallish main speakers from many different manufacturers, new or used.

Good Luck

PS - I have a pair of Silverline Preludes in my gym and they're certainly a good choice for extended bass/small footprint (especially at the $), but I suspect that your room may be a bit too large for best results.
