Suggestions short 3' tall floorstander?

Are you just doing 2 channel, or will you be adding center and rears?

Gallo Classico 3 or 4 would be ideal.

I am doing 5.1 but my current concern is improving the 2 channel performance. Currently I have Totem Mite-T mains and Totem Mite-T center in front, a small pair of Mirage speakers (forget which model) in rear, and a Monitor Audio ASW-210 sub. The Mite Ts (on stands) will block the screen, so they must be placed on either side of the screen, leaving a big hole for 2-channel use. Using shorter stands wont work because of the MTM layout of the Mite-T (the tweeter would be too low).

I have tried Totem Arros as mains (only 33-34 inches tall), but they don't have the impact needed for the occasional HT use. This is partly due to the room layout which leaves the listening area with essentially no left wall and 4 feet of missing right-rear wall (an open entranceway). Thus, I think I need a short, somewhat muscular floorstander. I know Totem makes some bigger models, but I am interested in what else may be out there.

given your existing Totem config, why not go with Forests, and if they are too tall Hawks. You can move the Mite's to the rear. Another option is Mani-2's. I have a pair of Sttafs, and Mani-2's. Wouldn't recommend the sttafs for HT for the same reason you experienced with the arros. I would recommend the Mani-2's though - provided you have the power to drive them. Mine are 40" on 24" stands.

Could just spend less(gasp!) and buy a pr of Rega RS-3 which is all a reasonable person needs.

Of course reasonable and audiophile are mutually exclusive.
