Small and Excellent Speakers

After demoing the new B&W Signature Diamond speakers, I'm convinced that small is not always bad. Their limited edition speakers are a 2-way floor standing loudspeaker with an effortless and sweat sound. Their Dimensions are:
36.6 x 9.1 x 14.8 (H x D x W) in inches. Weight: 55 lbs. Unfortnuately they are $18,000/pair.

I am looking to replace a set of 1991 JBL L7 loudspeakers with a smaller set of floor standing loudspeakers. They will be driven with a McIntosh MC402 solid state power amp (400w) and a McIntosh C2200 tube preamp.

Question for all:
Are there other small-footprint speakers that sound excellent and are less than $5,000?

Thank you.

Ohm 100 series 3 or Micro Walsh.

The Walsh style drivers provide a large surface radiating area in a very small footprint and produce a big sound in accordance that is more like much larger speaks but in a smaller package.

Midrange/vocals are fantastic as is low end. These will fill your room with sound in a very unique way and go loud with ease.
