Spendor A2/A4/A7: each excellent sounding at their price points and as move up thru them just get more of that great and phenomenally acclaimed Spendor sound.
Then you get to Spendor D7 which are in altogether different league imo due in part to the LPZ tweeter that Spendor designs and makes in house along with many cabinet and flow port improvements. Stereophile class A rated for 5 yrs and universally acclaimed across all of the review mags.
Just amazing sounding speakers and what I purchased after a several month exploration quest that saw me audition nearly 20 different speakers in the 3k-10k price range, up to Bowers 804d3 at 9 or 10 k in price.
Bowers & Wilkins, Vanddrsteen, Paradigm, Focal, Dynaudio, Goldenear, Rega, Martin Logan, Magnepan, Linn, Kef, and Spendor.
I listened to all and when possible multiple models within brand lines and not for 3-4 minutes but typically sittings of 20-30 minutes to over an hour.
Lots of good options but for me the Spendor D7 was the one, and it wasn’t particularly close. Ymmv
Small footprint per your requirements.
not quite full range but listen and audition in home if you can. I pair mine with REL S5 sub, but quite often I ask myself now after several months of ownership and many hundreds of hours of listening whether the REL was even needed. I think I could have been completely happy just with the D7’s and no sub.
