Speakers for Unison Unico 80W

I had Totem Arros and liked the sound (especially their imaging capabilities), but I had two qualms with them: 1) they are extremely sensitive, and break up easily at louder volumes. 2) I need a little more oomph, as I do listen to rock and orchetral music. My friend's Epos M5 monitors (with modest Creek integreated) moved more air than the Arros!!

So I am thinking of going for a bookshelf/monitor with good bass extension and pressurization capabilities (as good as bookshelves get at least), and adding a subwoofer at some point if needed.

My room is ~13' X 23', speakers against long wall, not too far off back wall.

Any suggestions for the Unico for ~$1-1.2k used?

I have thought about other smaller floorstanders, but really haven't seen anything in this range of interest. Larger speaker really are too much for my room sonically (I have an old pair of Signet 280ex.)

I am thinking Triangle, Silverline, Sonus Faber Concertos, Dynaudio (a couple models in that price range),Audio Physic Yara bookshelf.

if you can find a pair of Epos M12.2 WITH THEIR PROPER STANDS or even M15.2 (not M15), you'd get most of what you're searching for.

I felt that the Unico was a great match for the M12.2, in specific. I believe the match was quite good because the Unico has a slightly rounded bottom end, gorgeous midrange and a 'soft' top end (not to be confused w/ 'rolled off')... It retains the highs, but not at the cost of listening fatigue.

The Epos 12.2 has fast, tight, punchy bass (although somewhat limited), excellent midrange detail and quite a crisp high end...

Given the characteristics of both the amp and the speakers, they balance each other's strong and weak points very, very nicely.
