I second the Gemme Audio suggestion. I own a pair of Tantos. They are small, beautifully made, and produce the most incredible bass I've ever heard without the use of a sub.
Powerful, smallish floorstanders with high WAF?
Looking to upgrade from Focal Profile 918s to something more muscular, but they can't be a ton bigger or uglier. Running with Halcro MC70 and can devote two 200 watt channels to each speaker, also with a REL R528 sub. Any suggestions? Totem Earth and Metal are appealing, but pricey.
