with your budget I'd say check out the Devore Nines right at your max height requirement.
The Nines....
Frequency Response:29Hz -40kHz
Sensitivity: 90.5dB/W/M
Impendence: 8 ohms
Dimensions: 38"Hx8.5"Wx14.5"D
about $6500US
the Super 8s are shorter and less deep...
Frequency Response:36Hz -40kHz
Sensitivity: 90dB/W/M
Impendence: 8 ohms
Dimensions: 34"Hx8.125"Wx12"D
about $4500US

BTW, I use my Super 8s for 2 channel music and as part of a 5.1 HT. Sounds great. havent heard the Forests though, so can't compare. But the totems appear to be less expensive.
good luck.
