Sell towers for bookshelves?


I'm currently running a pair of NHT 2.5i towers with a McCormack DNA 0.5 deluxe power amp and a Peachtree Decco as pre-amp/DAC (connected to cpu via usb). I may be moving into a smaller apartment within the next few months, and I was considering selling my towers for a pair of higher end bookshelf speakers (used most likely). I'm sure I could afford bookshelves with greater accuracy than my NHTs.
Does anybody have any input on this considering my amplification setup (which I would probably prefer not to have to change). Any suggestions for used bookshelf speakers? Thanks!

Not sure there is any advantage in selling towers to get bookshelves - they tend to take up the same floorspace plus you need stands. Unless you think you will have too much bottom end with the towers in a smaller space?

There are lots of choices to go with your McCormack (100wpc?). For 6-700 used (+ stands) you are unlikely to beat the NHT considerably - perhaps just something different. I also had Katans, sold them then bought some again. They would be in budget. Maybe Epos M16's. Most of the good stuff will cost a little more used (around $1k).
